Baton SQL Connector Configuration Basics
Rich Manfredi·Solutions Architect·4 min
Rich Manfredi explains how to build a YAML configuration for the Baton SQL connector, breaking down the three top-level sections and sharing best practices for iterating on configurations without writing Go code.
Main Takeaways
- The Baton SQL connector uses a YAML configuration instead of Go code, making it accessible to less technical users.
- Each section of the configuration defines part of the connection: how to connect, what data to ingest, and which actions can be triggered.
- Best practice is to build incrementally. Start with connecting and syncing the data, then add provisioning and additional resource types once the foundation is working.
- One-shot mode lets you iterate quickly by generating a C1Z file locally without passing tenant credentials.
