How the components work together

The Demyst Platform is made up of the 3 components of Connectors, Data APIs and Data Shares, with a configuration gateway for management purposes.

The way to access a new data source in your Data Hub is to:

1. Configure a Connector as an integration with an upstream data source
2. Configure a Data API or Data Share as a deployment of one or more Connectors plus any chosen logic
3. Integrate with your new deployment through your Data Hub

Managing the Demyst Platform involves:

1. Managing your users, credentials and IP whitelists to remain in control and meet governance requirements
2. Access logs and setup alerts for support, cataloguing or governance needs

The Demyst services typically included in a Demyst Platform license means that Demyst supports you in the above activities (as well as many others) to a level pre-agreed during your onboarding. Reach out to your Demyst Account Manager (or contact us) to learn more.

Accessing a new data source

Where to go for guides on how to access a new data source. Also includes management of existing data sources.

Configure a Connector

The process to configure a Connector on the Demyst Platform consists of the following set of guides:

1. Creating a Connector
2. Either:
   1. Configure upstream API connectivity if your upstream data source is an API
   2. Configure a connector from a flat file (guide coming soon), if your upstream data source is a file hosted on SFTP or S3

Advanced users may also take advantage of:

• Adding credentials to a Connector
• Configuring Connector rate limits

Configure a Data API

Once your Connector(s) are ready, you can configure a Data API or a Data Share. If choosing a Data API, the process to configure a Data API on the Demyst Platform consists of the following set of guides:

1. Either:
   1. Creating and deploying a data API if your Data API is simple, only containing one source
   2. One of the sub pages under Setting up API orchestration if your Data API is more complex, containing multiple sources and/or logic, schema customization and other configurations
2. Testing a Data API

Advanced users may also take advantage of:

• Configuration DSL definitions

Configure a Data Share

Once your Connector(s) are ready, you can configure a Data API or a Data Share. Guides are coming soon for the process of configuring a Data Share on the Demyst Platform.

Integrate with a Data API

If you chose to deploy a Data API, once you have configured it you can then integrate it into your Data Hub. The process to integrate with a Data API consists of the following set of guides:

1. Authorizing against Demyst API gateway
2. Understanding the Demyst API request & response

Advanced users may also take advantage of:

1. Enrich flat files with the batch API

Integrate with a Data Share

If you chose to deploy a Data Share, once you have configured it you can then integrate it into your Data Hub. Guides are coming soon for the process of integrating with a Data Share.

Managing the Demyst Platform

Where to go for guides on how to manage the Demyst Platform.

Managing your users, credentials and IP whitelists

The process to manage security related items on the Demyst Platform can be found as below:

• Managing the users in your organisation
• Adding credentials to a Connector
• Authorising against Demyst API gateway

Guides related to Data Share authorization and setting up IP whitelists are coming soon.

Access logs and setup alerts

The process to manage security related items on the Demyst Platform can be found as below:

• Retrieving logs about a Connector
• Retrieving logs about your Data API

Guides related to viewing user audit and transaction logs are coming soon.
