Database and Data Lake Connections

PlaidCloud enables connection directly to databases, data lakes, query engines, and lakehouses. Connections can also utilize a PlaidLink agent if services are behind a firewall.

Since the terms of database, lakehouse, query engine, and potentially others are used to refer to data that can be queried using a connection, we generally treat all of these as "Databases" despite a wide variety of underlying technology that performs the underlying query.
