§P01Product

The layer between your systems and everything that reads them.

DataBridge Core is ten product areas around one engine. A record enters through a connection, is mapped and validated against rules you declare, and leaves as a destination write, a webhook or an API response — with every step recorded.

FIG P1.1Reference architecture
  1. 01

    Business systems

    CRM · ERP · databases · commerce · internal APIs

  2. 02

    Connections

    authenticated, tested, environment-scoped

  3. 03

    Data flows

    versioned, declarative pipelines

  4. 04

    Transformation

    mapping, typing, derivation, enrichment

  5. 05

    Validation

    required fields, types, rules, quarantine

  6. 06

    Delivery

    write, publish, expose

  7. 07

    APIs · webhooks · applications · destinations

    consumers never touch the source

§P02The spine

One spine, everywhere

The five stages you configure are the five stages you watch.

The same order appears in the flow builder, the run timeline, the logs and this site.

Credentials are stored encrypted and scoped to an environment. Connections are tested before use and report health continuously.

POST /v1/connections/test → 200 {"status":"healthy","latency_ms":118}

§P05Positioning

Against adjacent approaches

What each approach leaves unsolved.

A comparison of mechanisms, not of named vendors.

ApproachWhat it leaves unsolvedWhat DataBridge does
In-house point-to-point scriptsNo shared observability; credentials scattered; every change is a deployDeclared connections, versioned flows, one run history
Warehouse-first ELTData lands in analytics, not in operational systems or APIsDelivery is operational: destination writes, webhooks, read APIs
General workflow automationTask-shaped, not record-shaped; weak typing; opaque partial failuresTyped record pipelines, per-record status, quarantine and replay
An API gateway aloneRoutes requests; does not reconcile or transform the underlying dataThe gateway sits on top of synced, validated records
§P06Not this

Scope

What DataBridge is deliberately not.

  • Not an AI platform

    The value is deterministic, auditable data movement. Non-determinism is a liability here.

  • Not a workflow automation tool

    Automation tools are triggered by human events. DataBridge is triggered by system state and schedules, and is measured in records.

  • Not a CRM or a warehouse

    DataBridge moves your customer data; it never owns it, and it does not become the system of record.
