Ascend Connection

An Ascend Connection specifies Connections to external data sources, destinations, and any other external systems that Ascend needs access to. Profiles and Parameters allow you to have one Connection that can be used across multiple Environments to point to different resources without code changes. Connections are typically object storage (AWS S3, Azure blob, GCS), file servers (FTP/SFTP), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQL Server), and data warehouses (Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift).
