Connector Improvement: Option to run Connector SDK from a single IP/server
Not planned
Connector SDKs would typically be used for custom integrations with external sources, using their provided API. We recently had to connect with an API that required we create a token using an endpoint, then every other endpoint authenticates with that token. They also require that all endpoints we send requests to come from the same IP that the token was requested from.
Fivetran currently has multiple outbound IPs that can be used throughout a single sync meaning it wasn't possible for us to use Connector SDK for this connector.
We had a support ticket with fivetran that has more details: case (261959)

Hi Tim,
Thank you so much for submitting this feature request. I understand that the use case driving this request was a source needing a generated token to be used in API calls originating from the single IP address. So long a the token is generated at the start of a sync the IP requirement will be fulfilled.
At the moment, enabling the Connector SDK to run from a single IP/server is not on our current product roadmap. We actively monitor feedback and upvotes in our portal to understand interest and demand—every upvote on this request strengthens the case for us to consider prioritizing it in the future.
Thanks again for taking the time to reach out!
Best,

I just want to clarify that the token being generated at the start of a sync does not fulfil the IP requirements. After extensive testing I found that the outbound IP changes throughout a single sync.Â
