I was wondering if Celonis is planning to prodive the Uplink connectors (JDBC, SAP, etc.) as Docker Containers in the future.
To be honest, the current architectur (1 Service for each instance and type) of those connectors is complex (especially, if youre running multiple instances) and the the need for virtual/physical hardware is just a lot of overhead for a middleware.
The benefits would be
- Limited development overhead for building the containers
- Easier maintainability and scalability on the customer side for multiple connectors
- No side effects and version conflicts with different Java Versions
- Almost no installation overhead for existing docker landscapes
- Easier upgrades, just replace the image and keep configuration
Thank you for your Feedback and best regards
