About
Built by a data engineer,
for data teams.
rsync.ai exists because building and maintaining data pipelines is still too slow, too expensive, and too engineer-dependent — even in 2026.

Creator · rsync.ai · Brussels, Belgium
Senior data engineering manager with a decade of experience building scalable data platforms across logistics, e-commerce, and SaaS. Spent years stitching together Fivetran, Airbyte, custom ETL scripts, and Temporal workflows — and got tired of the same problems repeating: six-week connector backlogs, per-row pricing surprises, and pipelines that only the original author could debug.
rsync.ai is the tool I wished had existed. Describe what you want to move in plain English, review the AI-generated plan, approve it, and watch the pipeline run — cloud-hosted today, no per-row pricing, with source-available code and self-hosting available now.
Why rsync.ai exists
The modern data stack has a connector problem. Every new data source means a ticket to engineering, a wait of weeks, and a connector that only the author understands. Managed services like Fivetran bill on Monthly Active Rows, so cost tracks how many distinct rows change. Self-managed alternatives like Airbyte now run on Kubernetes, which means real DevOps investment to run reliably.
LLMs changed what's possible. You can now describe a pipeline in plain English, have rsync.ai discover the schema, flag likely PII fields, propose masking rules, and generate a working connector — all before a human has written a single line of YAML.
rsync.ai pairs that with a Temporal-backed runtime and real-time CDC via Debezium — running as a managed cloud today, with self-hosting in your own VPC so your data can stay on your infrastructure.
Source-available now
rsync.ai is source-available under the rsync.ai Source-Available License. It is free to self-host and modify for your company's own internal use; reselling it or hosting it for others needs a commercial license. Run the full stack in your own VPC with a one-command install. It also runs as a managed cloud — start free.
