Connectors in Condense

In a real-time streaming data platform, a connector serves as the bridge between data sources, processing engines, and destinations, enabling seamless ingestion, transformation, and delivery of real-time data across distributed systems. Connectors eliminate the complexities of manual data integration by providing prebuilt, configurable, and scalable solutions for handling real-time event streams.

Role of Connectors in a Streaming Data Pipeline

Connectors play a critical role in the end-to-end data streaming workflow by enabling:

Data Ingestion

Capturing real-time data from APIs, databases, sensors, event brokers, and cloud storage.

Data Processing

Routing data through custom transformations and enrichment pipelines for analytics and decision-making.

Data Distribution

Sending processed data to enterprise applications, machine learning models, dashboards, or storage systems for further use.

A connector-first approach ensures that businesses can ingest, process, and distribute real-time data efficiently without managing infrastructure complexities.
