Grouparoo
The Open Source Reverse ETL Framework.
Overview
Grouparoo was a pioneering open-source Reverse ETL platform that allowed organizations to sync data from their data warehouse to various business applications. It was designed with a focus on code-based configuration, providing flexibility and version control for data teams, while also offering a UI for business users. In 2022, Grouparoo was acquired by Airbyte, and its team and technology are being integrated into the Airbyte platform to bolster its Reverse ETL capabilities. While the standalone product is being phased out, its principles and features live on within Airbyte.
