Summary

The Fivetran Connector SDK is now generally available, enabling organizations to replicate data from any source system, application, API, database, or file with custom Python-based connectors. The SDK empowers teams to create production-ready connectors without managing infrastructure, allowing them to focus on delivering business value instead of maintaining brittle data pipelines. With the SDK, users can build custom connectors for internal tools and niche systems, custom APIs, schema extensions, and compliance customization, among other use cases. The Connector SDK offers granular control over data movement, enabling precise control over what data is extracted and delivered to destinations. It also allows for easy schema mapping and sync scheduling, meets enterprise security and governance requirements, and supports cloud-native execution with Python-based flexibility. The SDK can be used to build connectors in under an hour, making it a strategic advantage for data leaders and practitioners who want to deliver analytics faster and more efficiently.
