Lite Connectorslink
A Lite connector is a type of connector built on a new technology that enables Fivetran to develop API-based connectors quickly. Compared to Fivetran’s existing connectors, Lite connectors are built for a specific use case and often cover fewer endpoints.
NOTE: Lite connectors can be differentiated by the Lite badge.
Lite connectors have a simplified Generally Available (GA) process to reduce time to value for our users. They follow the same Service Level Agreements (SLA) for major data integrity, security, and reliability issues as our existing connectors.
IMPORTANT: Once a Lite connector is generally available, Fivetran provides support, maintenance, and also considers enhancement requests for the connector.
Our By Request program provides our users the opportunity to work with Fivetran to build a Lite connector.
NOTE: A Lite connector built through the By Request program will join Fivetran’s catalog of connectors available for all Fivetran users to use going forward.
Why Lite connectors?link
Lite connectors are built for your specific use case coverage. API-based connectors are easy to build and maintain as most APIs are designed using a formula or pattern-based approach. Our Lite (API-based) connectors:
- Post request to a source API URL
- Support incremental endpoints
- Use API key or OAuth-based authentication
- Support native schema management
- Support multiple data formats
- Support multiple source data types
- Support advanced features, such as Pagination, Custom Rate Limit management, etc
What are the key differences between Standard and Lite connectors?link
The following table summarizes the key differences between standard and Lite connectors.
Aspect | Standard | Lite |
---|---|---|
Use cases | Complete or near-complete use case coverage. | Partial or specific use case coverage. |
Release cycle | See Release phases. | Private Preview, then Generally Available. No Beta phase. |
SLA | Full SLA based on pricing plan. | Full SLA based on pricing plan; Enhancement response times differ. |
Schema design process | Starts with analyzing the application workflow in order to translate into highly designed schemas. | Starts with the available API. |
Development prioritization | Build for most popular sources to meet the needs of the majority of users. | By Request build process for connectors that are unavailable today. |
Pricing | Consumption-based (Monthly Active Rows). | Consumption-based (Monthly Active Rows). |
What are the key differences between Lite and Function connectors?link
Cloud Function connectors are a way for Fivetran users to code a custom connector on their own. You can use a Function connector if you have a custom data source or a private API that we don’t support. You must build and maintain the function code that Fivetran's Function connector triggers during its sync.
The following table summarizes the key differences between Lite and Cloud Function connectors.
Lite Connectors | Cloud Function Connectors |
---|---|
We (Fivetran) manage the build, maintenance, and code. | You (Fivetran user) build, maintain, and keep your own function code. |
We manage the timing and priority of bug fixes. | You control the timing and priority of bug fixes; it’s your responsibility. |
We decide the data extraction approach and the API endpoints we call, with inputs from the users. | You control the language used for the function. |
