Connector Proxies are containers for connectors. Connectors are usually Python libraries that are included in connector proxy codebases, but they can also be embedded directly inside of connector proxies. Our connector-proxy-demo includes a few connectors, including connector-aws and connector-http. Connector-http can be used for many API interactions, but you can also write your own connectors.
