# Connectors overview

<PageBadges />

Connectors receive structured records from a form0 project and write them to storage controlled by
the host application. Official connectors currently support PostgreSQL and SQLite.

The recommended workflow is to manage connectors with `form0-cli`: install a connector, configure
it in the project, test the connection, and inspect its status. Applications can also instantiate
a connector directly when they need to own its lifecycle.

Connectors run inside the local Node.js process. They are not hosted storage services and do not
provide authentication, authorization, backups, retention, or database administration. Those
responsibilities remain with the application and database owner.

[CLI connector-management guide](/cli/connector-management).
