Conceptual questions about connectors

Hello guys, I have some conceptual doubts about connectors. Let’s suppose I chose the Camunda SaaS solution, and all the rest of my services (business applications) run on AWS. I need to connect to send a message to a Kafka - topic running in my AWS cloud. What type of connector should I download for self-managed or for SaaS?

Other example, if I want to communicate to send a message via WhatsApp directly from SaaS to Meta (throught internet); what type of connector should I use?

Thanks
Maxi

HI @Maxi_Gutierrez ,

if you are using Camunda SaaS Solution and want to use the Camunda Connectors, you can click on “For SaaS”. Currently those connectors are also preinstalled.

For SAAS you can also run your connectors in hybrid mode, which means they are connected to our SAAS Platform, but running locally in your environment.

I think in your case you can go the full SAAS route without hybrid mode.

Thank you,

Where can I find an example about an hybrid connector?
If you work in a large company where all your systems are in your private network running in gcp by example, almost pre build connectors for saas will be denied because all them connect trought internet from the saas directly.

I link the documentation. A hybrid connector is just hosting the camunda runtime locally. All described in the linked documentation: Use Connectors in hybrid mode | Camunda 8 Docs
