Connectors

Connectors are the databases, APIs, and storage services your apps connect to. Major manages credentials securely so you never need to handle secrets in your code.

​

How connectors work

• Secure Flow: Your app connects to the Major API, which proxies requests to your actual connectors.
• Authentication: Powered by a MAJOR_JWT_TOKEN issued to your session. This token contains your user scopes, ensuring the client can only access what you’re permitted to access.
• Generated Clients: Major generates resource clients for you. You’ll find one per resource in src/clients/.

​

Setting up a connector

1. Navigate to Organization Settings > Connectors
2. Click Add Connector and select the type
3. Configure the connection details and credentials
4. Attach the connector to your app via the web editor or major resource manage

​

Per-environment configuration

When editing a connector, you can configure each environment independently. This lets you use different credentials or endpoints for staging and production.

​

Identity-based authentication

For S3 and DynamoDB resources, you can use Assume Role Identities instead of access keys. Create an identity in the web UI, review the generated trust policy for your IAM role, and select identity-based authentication when configuring your resource. This approach is more secure and avoids managing long-lived credentials.
