fivetran-connector-sdk

The fivetran-connector-sdk allows users to execute custom, self-written Python code within Fivetran's secure cloud environment. Fivetran automatically manages running the connectors on your scheduled frequency and manages the required compute resources.

The Connector SDK service is the best fit for the following use cases:

• Fivetran doesn't have a connector for your source and is unlikely to support it soon.
• You are using private APIs, custom applications, unsupported file formats, or those that require pre-processing.
• You have sensitive data that needs filtering or anonymizing before entering the destination.
• You don't want to introduce a 3rd party into your pipeline (e.g., to host a custom function).

To learn more, see our Connector SDK documentation
