Frequently Asked Questions

What are connectors in a database?

Database connectors are software components or APIs that establish a communication channel between an application and a database system. They handle authentication, query translation, and data transfer so that tools like Sylus can read from and interact with your database without requiring direct engineering access. Connectors abstract the underlying database protocol, making integration seamless regardless of the database type.
