Connect is a NATS based data pipeline that allows you to easily connect data sources and sinks to NATS. Connect is built on top of the NATS ecosystem and uses the NATS server as a message broker. Connect is designed to be easy to use and scalable, allowing you to connect multiple data sources and sinks to NATS.

This project merely provides the connect CLI and SDK to interact with the connect service. The connect service is currently hosted by Synadia during a private beta, but we do want to let you all know what we are working on and get feedback. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out in the #connectors channel on the NATS slack.
