Integration support policy

For production environments, GX recommends using GX Cloud integrations.

GX uses libraries such as Pandas, Spark, and SQLAlchemy to integrate with different Data Sources. This also allows you to deploy GX with community-supported integrations.

Levels of support

The following are the levels of support provided by GX:

  • GX Cloud - GX Cloud supported integrations are available in GX Cloud. They are tested and are actively maintained with new GX Cloud releases.

  • GX Core - GX Core supported integrations are available in GX Core. They are tested and are actively maintained with new GX Core releases.

  • Community - Community supported integrations were initially implemented by GX or the community. It is up to the community for ongoing maintenance
