 Airbyte is on a mission to make data integration pipelines a commodity.
 
-* **Maintenance-free connectors you can use in minutes**. Just authenticate your sources and warehouse, and get connectors that adapt to schema and API changes for you.
-* **Building new connectors made trivial.** We make it very easy to add new connectors that you need, using the language of your choice, by offering scheduling and orchestration. 
-* Designed to **cover the long tail of connectors and needs**. Benefit from the community's battle-tested connectors and adapt them to your specific needs.
-* **Your data stays in your cloud**. Have full control over your data, and the costs of your data transfers. 
-* **No more security compliance process** to go through as Airbyte is self-hosted. 
-* **No more pricing indexed on volume**, as cloud-based solutions offer.

 ## Features
 
-* **Built for extensibility**: Adapt an existing connector to your needs or build a new one with ease.
-* **Optional normalized schemas**: Entirely customizable, start with raw data or from some suggestion of normalized data.
-* **Full-grade scheduler**: Automate your replications with the frequency you need.
-* **Real-time monitoring**: We log all errors in full detail to help you understand.
-* **Incremental updates**: Automated replications are based on incremental updates to reduce your data transfer costs.
-* **Manual full refresh**: Sometimes, you need to re-sync all your data to start again.
-* **Debugging autonomy**: Modify and debug pipelines as you see fit, without waiting.
