River Types

In Rivery, a river is the term used to describe an execution. There are three different types of rivers:

• Data Source to Target
• Logic
• Action

Source to Target Rivers

A Data Source to Target river enables you to connect to any of Rivery's native data connectors and load data into a cloud target.

For an overview of a Data Source to Target river, see Data Source to Target Overview .

Logic Rivers

A Logic river allows for orchestration of your data pipeline as well as in-database transformations via a series of logical steps.

Some common use cases for logic rivers are:

• Building data dependencies
• Prepping data for a BI/dashboarding tool
• Blending data from multiple sources
• Handling unstructured data types
• Adhering to data warehousing best practices (operational data store, staging layer, reporting layer)

For a walkthrough of logic rivers and their functionality, see Logic River Overview .

Action Rivers

An Action river provides a REST template for connection to any public API on the web. This is a user-friendly option for connecting to APIs that Rivery does not yet support natively.

If you would like an new Rivery connection built into the tool, contact contact@rivery.io to inquire about our API On-demand program!
