Connection profiles: manage connections without editing config by hand

Published

TLDR

Create and manage connection profiles in Mage Pro, test connections across more IO classes, and reuse those profiles in your pipelines.

Manage connections without editing config by hand

Connection setup should support the pipeline work, not slow it down. Mage Pro gives teams product controls for creating and managing io_config profiles, then reusing those profiles across the work that depends on them.

Keep connection setup in the workflow

Create and manage connection profiles from Mage Pro, then choose the profile a pipeline should use. Teams can keep credentials and connection behavior organized without scattering that setup through individual blocks.

Make a connection easier to trust

  • Use a profile where it belongs. Choose a configured connection profile instead of hardcoding connection details into a pipeline.
  • Test more IO classes before the work runs. Check supported connection types in the product before they become a production dependency.
  • Reuse the setup across workflows. Keep the connection definition in one place as more pipelines use the same data system.

Give teams a cleaner path from setup to production

Connection profiles make it easier to standardize how a team works with its data systems. That leaves more room for the work that matters: building reliable pipelines and getting useful data where it needs to go.
