Create Connections

This section describes the source and target connections for ingesting and outputting your data.

Before creating your data pipeline with Upsolver, ensure that you have the necessary connectors in place to support your intended use case.

For data ingestion, you first need a connection to your data source; then, in order to read your data into a staging table, you should have a connection to a metadata store, along with a corresponding cloud storage location.

After your data has been ingested and transformed, you need a connection to your target location for outputting your data.

Connections determine the credentials that Upsolver uses to read and/or write your data, so you may want to explicitly create your own Amazon S3 or AWS Glue Data Catalog connections to configure specific permissions.
