Airbyte Column Selection: Control over the exact data to sync

Airbyte has introduced column selection for its community on both Open Source and Cloud platforms, allowing users to choose which fields they want to synchronize from their API or database source. This feature is available across all connectors and can be accessed during the connection setup process by selecting columns in a popup. The implementation ensures compatibility with all existing connectors without requiring any changes. Column selection offers benefits such as data minimization, privacy and security, and relevance for specific business analyses. Future updates will include more control over replication behavior when source schemas change.
