Connector

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A component that links one system to another by handling protocol details, authentication, data mapping, or event translation. Connectors are common in integration platforms, ETL pipelines, and enterprise tooling where many external systems need a consistent interface.

    In plain English: A component that connects one system or service to another.

    Example: "The data pipeline used a connector for the CRM so schema changes could be handled in one integration layer instead of across every downstream consumer."
