# Connections

Connections are the bridge linking your data sources to your data warehouse, enabling seamless data integration and processing. Each connection can manage one or multiple jobs, which define specific data extraction, transformation, and loading tasks.

To learn more about how jobs work and their role in the data pipeline, refer to the [Jobs Documentation](https://docs.erathos.com/platform/connections/jobs).
