Case Study: Community Tech Alliance builds durable data infrastructure with Airbyte

Community Tech Alliance builds a custom ActBlue connector in 1 week with Airbyte

Community Tech Alliance is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that builds data infrastructure for political and advocacy organizations. Their challenge was to break the costly cycle of building and tearing down data warehouses for every election by creating a durable, centralized analytics platform that could persist across cycles. They needed a transparent ELT solution to move data from a fragmented ecosystem of sources into Google BigQuery for their partners in the election integrity and security space.

The organization implemented Airbyte as its core ELT tool from its founding, starting with the open-source version and later moving to Airbyte Cloud. Using Airbyte’s extensive connector catalog and Connector Builder, they quickly built custom integrations for tools like ActBlue, reducing development time from an estimated month to just one week. This solution eliminated the need to build most connectors from scratch, provided full data transparency for partners, and reduced onboarding friction for new team members with its form-based, easy-to-use setup.
