Connectors
A connector is a plugin that enables DPUse to communicate with a specific vendor product as a data source. It works like a driver — you install the connector once, then create one or more connections using that connector to represent individual accounts or credentials.
How connectors work
Each connector implements a standard set of operations for its data source — listing files, retrieving records, streaming data, and so on. Once a connector is installed in your workbench you can create connections against it, then use those connections to build Data Views.
Connector status
Connectors progress through a lifecycle before reaching general availability:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pre-Alpha | Early prototype; breaking changes expected |
| Alpha | Functional but incomplete; not suitable for production |
| Beta | Feature-complete; may have known issues |
| Release Candidate | Stable; final validation in progress |
| General Availability | Production-ready |
