Instructions for developing a connector in Rill
Introduction
Connectors are resources that contain credentials and settings for connecting to external systems. They are typically found at the root of the project's DAG, providing access to data sources and services that power downstream resources like models and metrics views.
Connectors are usually lightweight resources. When reconciled, they validate the connection to the external system but do not move or process data. The main exception is managed OLAP connectors (with managed: true), which trigger database provisioning.
Driver capabilities
Each connector uses a driver that implements one or more capabilities:
- OLAP database: Can power metrics views and dashboards (e.g.,
duckdb,clickhouse,druid,pinot,starrocks,snowflake,bigquery,databricksas live connectors) - SQL database: Can run SQL queries as model inputs (e.g.,
postgres,bigquery,snowflake) - Information schema: Can list tables and their schemas (e.g.,
duckdb,bigquery) - Object store: Can list, read, and write flat files (e.g.,
s3,gcs) - Notifier: Can send notifications and alerts (e.g.,
slack) - AI: Can generate embeddings or responses (e.g.,
openai,claude,gemini)
Core Concepts
Naming conventions
Connectors are typically named after their driver (e.g., a file connectors/duckdb.yaml creates a connector named duckdb). Use descriptive names when you have multiple connectors of the same type:
connectors/s3_data.yamlandconnectors/s3_staging.yamlconnectors/clickhouse_prod.yamlandconnectors/clickhouse_dev.yaml
Secrets management
Always store sensitive credentials in .env and reference them using template syntax:
type: connector
driver: s3
aws_access_key_id: "{{ .env.aws_access_key_id }}"
aws_secret_access_key: "{{ .env.aws_secret_access_key }}"
NOTE: Some legacy projects use the deprecated .vars instead of .env.
Managed connectors
OLAP connectors can be provisioned automatically by Rill using managed: true. This is supported for duckdb and clickhouse drivers:
type: connector
driver: duckdb
managed: true
When a managed connector is reconciled, Rill provisions the database infrastructure. The user is billed for the CPU, memory, and disk usage of the provisioned database.
Access modes
Control read/write access using the mode property:
mode: read: Prevents Rill models from writing to this connectormode: readwrite: Allows both reading and writing (default for managed connectors)
Use mode: read when connecting to external databases with pre-existing tables to prevent unintended modifications.
Dev/Prod configuration
Use dev: and prod: blocks for environment-specific settings:
type: connector
driver: clickhouse
mode: readwrite
# Use a local database in development to prevent overwriting data in the production cluster when iterating on changes.
dev:
managed: true
prod:
host: "{{ .env.clickhouse_host }}"
port: 9440
username: "{{ .env.clickhouse_user }}"
password: "{{ .env.clickhouse_password }}"
ssl: true
Driver-Specific Notes
DuckDB
DuckDB is Rill's default embedded OLAP database. Key properties:
managed: true: Rill provisions and manages the databaseinit_sql: SQL to run at startup (install extensions, create secrets, attach databases)
For MotherDuck (cloud DuckDB), use the path property with md: prefix:
type: connector
driver: duckdb
path: "md:my_database"
token: "{{ .env.motherduck_token }}"
ClickHouse
ClickHouse can be user-managed or Rill-managed. Key properties:
managed: true: Rill provisions and manages an empty Clickhouse cluster. If set, don't set any other connector properties.host,port,username,password: Connection credentialsdatabase: Target database namessl: true: Required for ClickHouse Cloudcluster: Cluster name for multi-node Clickhouse clustersdsn: Alternative connection string format (format:clickhouse://host:port?username=<username>&...)
