SnapLogic is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that allows organizations to connect various applications and data sources for the purpose of data integration, data transformation, and workflow automation. The key components of SnapLogic include:
- Snaps: Snaps are pre-built connectors that facilitate the integration of data and applications. SnapLogic offers a wide variety of snaps to connect to different systems, including databases, cloud services, on-premises applications, and more. These snaps enable you to design integration pipelines quickly and efficiently.
- Designer: SnapLogic Designer is the visual, low-code interface where you design and create integration pipelines. It offers a drag-and-drop interface for building and configuring integration flows, making it accessible to non-developers and developers alike.
- Manager: The SnapLogic Manager is where you manage and monitor your integration pipelines. It provides tools for scheduling, error handling, logging, and tracking the execution of your pipelines. You can also use the Manager to set up security and access controls.
- Manager for Control Plane: This component is responsible for user management, organization management, and audit tracking. It ensures that users have the appropriate access and permissions to work with integration pipelines and data.
- Groundplex: The SnapLogic Groundplex is an on-premises or cloud-based execution engine for running integration pipelines. It allows you to securely connect to your local data sources and execute pipelines that require local access. Groundplexes play a crucial role in hybrid integration scenarios.
- Ultra Pipelines: Ultra Pipelines are designed for high-performance and real-time data integration. They can handle large volumes of data and are optimized for use cases where low latency is essential, such as IoT or real-time analytics.
- Iris AI: Iris AI is SnapLogic’s AI-driven engine that assists in pipeline design, mapping, and other data integration tasks. It uses machine learning to suggest data mappings and transformations, making the integration process more efficient.
- Snaplex: A Snaplex is a group of Groundplexes that work together to provide load balancing and high availability for integration workloads. It ensures that your integration pipelines can scale as needed.
- Security and Governance: SnapLogic provides various security features, such as encryption, role-based access control, and audit logging, to ensure the security and governance of your data during integration.
- API Management: SnapLogic also offers API management capabilities, allowing you to expose your integration pipelines as APIs for external consumption, making it easier to connect with other systems and applications.
These components work together to provide a comprehensive platform for data integration, transformation, and automation, allowing organizations to streamline their business processes and leverage their data effectively.
