What is a Vanus Connector

Vanus Connect allows you to skip the complex integration with external services by offering out-of-the-box connectors. Each connector acts as a proxy between outside services and your system, enabling users to have faster integrations with no codes. All data produced or processed by our connectors conforms to the CloudEvents specification, which helps enterprises leverage event-driven architecture to do business in the age of events.

What is a Sink Connector

A sink connector receives CloudEvents and does some specific business logics. For example:

• MySQL Sink extracts useful data from CloudEvents and writes them to a MySQL database.
• Display Sink prints incoming CloudEvents out.
• Slack Sink extracts data from CloudEvents and send them to a Slack channel.
