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 conform to the CloudEvents specification, which helps enterprises leverage event-driven architecture to do business in the age of events.

What is a Source Connector

A Source connector obtains data from an underlying data producer and delivers it to the target after the original data has been transformed into a CloudEvents. For example:

• MySQL Source: extracts data from the Binlog, transforms it into CloudEvents, and sends it to the target.

• GitHub Source: uses a Webhook server to receive the event from GitHub, transform them to CloudEvents, and send them to the target.

• AWS S3 Source: Uses the AWS SDK to get the data, transforms it into CloudEvents, and sends them to the target.

There are two types of connectors push or pull connectors.

• A push connector is passive and only does its logic when it receives an event
• A pull connector must pull the data in an interval. We use a push method when it’s possible
