Hey I am searching for a Magento connector

I wouldn’t start with the CDK, and reach for Builder instead.
What are some data streams that you need out of Magento? Is the list of streams dynamic and dependent on what user has there, or is the list of tables stable?
It looks like we’ve <source-magento Connector | Airbyte Documentation a Magento connector before, but ultimately archived it>. It does make sense to sync up the underlying MySQL database if you’re willing to normalize and transform data downstream.
In return, MySQL sync will always be faster than syncing up Magento data via any of it’s APIs, even if they provide a bulk-export API.
However if you’d like a simple Magento connector, I would love to work with you on it. We would love to have it in our catalog. Magento seems to have both REST and GraphQL APIs, any of those would work well in Builder.
For larger ones, you’d want to use bulk endpoints
Thank you so much <@U069EMNRPA4>.
