Architecture

NexxusBridge utilizes a modular, microservices-based architecture designed for scalability, reliability, and extensibility. The platform consists of several key components:

Core Components

  • Integration Hub - Central repository of all integration templates, connectors, and configurations.
  • Connector Registry - Manages the lifecycle and capabilities of service connectors.
  • Workflow Engine - Orchestrates integration processes with scheduling, error handling, and monitoring.
  • Credential Management - Securely stores and manages access credentials for connected services.
  • Data Transformation Service - Handles data mapping, validation, and transformation between systems.
  • AI Recommendation Engine - Provides intelligent integration suggestions based on system context.

Getting Started

This section guides you through the initial setup process and creating your first integration with NexxusBridge.

Authentication

NexxusBridge supports multiple authentication methods to fit your organization's security requirements:

  • Username/Password - Standard authentication with optional MFA
  • OAuth 2.0 - Integration with popular identity providers (Google, Microsoft, etc.)
  • SAML - Enterprise SSO support
  • API Keys - For programmatic access to the platform

Setting Up Your First Integration

Follow these steps to create your first integration:

  1. Select a connector from the Integration Hub
  2. Configure connection parameters for your source and target systems
  3. Define data mapping between source and target attributes
  4. Set up triggers for when the integration should run (scheduled, event-based, etc.)
  5. Test the connection using the built-in connection testing tool
  6. Activate the integration to start the data flow
Important Note

Always test your integrations thoroughly in a non-production environment before activating them in production systems. This helps prevent unexpected data changes or performance impacts.

Integration Types

NexxusBridge provides connectors for a wide range of systems across different categories:

Cloud Providers

Workflows

NexxusBridge's workflow capabilities allow you to create sophisticated integration processes that orchestrate data movement and transformation between multiple systems:

Workflow Types

  • Scheduled Workflows - Run at specified intervals (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.)
  • Event-Triggered Workflows - Initiated by events in source systems (e.g., new record created)
  • Webhook-Triggered Workflows - Started by incoming webhook calls from external systems
  • Manual Workflows - Executed on-demand by users via the UI or API

Workflow Components

  • Triggers - Define when and how a workflow starts
  • Actions - Operations performed on data (create, read, update, delete)
  • Transforms - Data manipulation steps (mapping, formatting, filtering)
  • Conditions - Logical branches based on data values or system states
  • Error Handlers - Define behavior when errors occur
Best Practice

Design workflows with idempotency in mind - ensure they can be safely re-run multiple times without causing data corruption or duplication. This is especially important for error recovery scenarios.

AI Integration Builder

The AI Integration Builder is a premium feature that accelerates integration development through artificial intelligence:

Key Capabilities

  • Automated API Discovery - Automatically identifies and maps API endpoints from source and target systems
  • Intelligent Schema Mapping - Suggests optimal field mappings between different data schemas

Frequently Asked Questions

NexxusBridge employs enterprise-grade security measures including encryption at rest and in transit, credential isolation, fine-grained access controls, comprehensive audit logging, and regular security updates. The platform is designed with a security-first architecture that separates authentication, authorization, and data processing components.

Yes, NexxusBridge allows you to create custom connectors for systems not covered by our pre-built integrations. The platform provides a Connector Development Kit (CDK) with templates and tools to build, test, and deploy custom connectors. Custom connectors have access to the same features as native connectors, including workflow integration, monitoring, and lifecycle management.

NexxusBridge employs a secure credential vault that encrypts and isolates all access credentials for connected systems. The credential management system supports various authentication methods including API keys, OAuth tokens, username/password, and certificate-based authentication. Credentials are never exposed in logs, UI, or APIs, and access to the credential store is strictly controlled and audited.
