Connectors
Jitterbit
Jitterbit offers more than 120 pre-built data integration flows between various cloud and on-premise applications. They can be found within the marketplace with a catalog of Integration Recipes for one direction data integration and Process Templates, pre-built integration use cases that execute a specific business process using objects across multiple applications or systems. The platform offers a Connector Builder with no-code interface to create standards-based HTTP/REST connectors.
There's also a Connector SDK, Java library for developers to create custom connectors. The Connector SDK offers the most control over creating connectors, but requires a developer familiar with standard Java development practices and tools, such as Maven, Docker, Postman, and Git. However, Jitterbit allows HTTP for REST connectors created only with anonymous or basic authentication, as OAuth 2.0 isn't supported.
AWS Glue
AWS Glue supports the following connection types:
• JDBC-compatible data sources,
• Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS),
• Amazon Redshift,
• Amazon DocumentDB,
