Amazon AppFlow
What Amazon AppFlow is
Amazon AppFlow is a cloud integration service for exchanging data between SaaS applications and AWS services. Its no-code flow builder supports on-demand, scheduled or business-event triggers, with more than 50 SaaS connectors. Native integrations include Salesforce, SAP, Google Analytics, Facebook Ads, Marketo, Zendesk, Slack and ServiceNow. Data can be sent to Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Salesforce or Snowflake, then mapped, merged, masked, filtered and validated during transfer. A single flow can move up to 100 GB. The Connector SDK allows custom connectors for endpoints, applications and cloud services using Java or Python. AppFlow can prepare transferred data for the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with AWS managed or customer managed KMS keys. PrivateLink can keep supported SaaS transfers off the public internet, while IAM and CloudTrail provide permissions and activity logging. AWS states a 99.9% monthly uptime target per Region.
