# Airbyte For Data Observability
Integration version1.0.0
## Overview{% #overview %}

[Airbyte](https://airbyte.com) is a data integration platform that syncs data from sources to destinations. With Datadog's Airbyte integration, data teams can understand how data flows through Airbyte connections and trace quality issues across their pipelines. The integration collects metadata and lineage for objects in your Airbyte account.

### Data Catalog Assets{% #data-catalog-assets %}

The integration builds a representation of the following Airbyte objects:

- Workspaces
- Connections
- Streams

### Lineage{% #lineage %}

The integration generates lineage between warehouse tables through Airbyte connections. When both the source and destination of a connection are [supported data warehouses](https://docs.datadoghq.com/data_observability/quality_monitoring/data_warehouses.md), Datadog automatically derives warehouse-to-warehouse lineage across all active streams.

### Validation{% #validation %}

It can take up to 60 minutes for data to appear after the initial setup.

Check the [Data Catalog](https://app.datadoghq.com/data-obs/catalog) to verify that your Airbyte account appears and that the expected catalog assets are present.

## What's next{% #whats-next %}

When your Airbyte account is successfully connected, Datadog syncs every 60 minutes and automatically derives lineage from source to destination warehouse tables across all active connections and streams.

After syncing, you can explore your Airbyte connections and their warehouse dependencies in the [Data Observability Catalog](https://app.datadoghq.com/data-obs/catalog).
