Connection

An Ascend Connection specifies connections to external data sources, destinations, and other external systems that Ascend needs access to. Profiles and parameters allow one Connection to be used across multiple Environments pointing to different resources without code changes.

Connections are typically:

• Object storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, GCS)
• File servers (FTP/SFTP)
• Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQL Server)
• Data warehouses (Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Snowflake)
