# Live Data Connectors

> Learn how to connect directly to live data sources and build agentic applications without duplicating or flattening your data

## Live Data Connectors

This tutorial demonstrates how Corvic AI's Live Data Connectors let you connect directly to live data sources and build agentic applications on top of them—without duplicating or flattening your data. Learn how Corvic stays seamlessly in sync with underlying systems as data changes in real time.

## What You'll Learn

* Connecting to live data sources without data duplication
* Setting up connectors for blob storage and databases
* Building agentic applications on real-time data
* Maintaining data sync and preserving structure, lineage, and access controls

## Key Concepts

### Live Data Connectors

Live Data Connectors enable you to connect directly to live data sources and build agentic applications without duplicating or flattening your data. Corvic stays seamlessly in sync with underlying systems as data changes in real time, allowing agents to reason over fresh, production data.

### Supported Connectors

Connect to popular data sources including **blob storage systems** (Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage) and **databases and data platforms** (Snowflake, Databricks). These connectors preserve structure, lineage, and access controls while enabling real-time data access.

## Setting Up Connectors

### Step 1: Configure Data Source

Set up your data source connection by providing credentials and connection details for your chosen platform (S3, Azure Blob Storage, Snowflake, or Databricks).

### Step 2: Establish Live Connection

Establish a live connection that stays in sync with your data source. Corvic monitors changes in real time without duplicating or flattening your data.

### Step 3: Build Agentic Applications

Build agentic applications on top of your live data connectors. Agents can reason over fresh, production data while preserving structure, lineage, and access controls.

## Benefits

Live Data Connectors enable you to build reliable, up-to-date GenAI applications over enterprise data without the overhead of data duplication. Agents always work with the latest data while maintaining data structure, lineage tracking, and existing access controls.

## Best Practices

Configure connectors with appropriate access controls and monitor sync status regularly. Use live connectors for production data that changes frequently, ensuring your agents always have access to the most current information while preserving data governance and security.
