Before you can run pipelines in Maia, you need a connection to your cloud data platform. This section covers platform-specific setup for Amazon Redshift and Databricks, and secure connectivity options for AWS-hosted resources.

​
Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift and Amazon Redshift Serverless are both supported as cloud data warehouses. Redshift Serverless is optimized for Full SaaS deployments, but works with Hybrid SaaS too.

​
Databricks

Maia connects to Databricks on both AWS and Azure, in Full SaaS and Hybrid SaaS deployments. You can connect your workspace using Databricks Partner Connect, and configure a Databricks Jobs Compute cluster to run and schedule transformation pipelines cost-effectively. For general setup, read the Databricks connection guide.
AWS PrivateLink lets you connect to an AWS VPC without exposing traffic to the public internet. Use it to secure connections to Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or other AWS-hosted data sources. If you’re running a Maia runner in your own AWS account under Hybrid SaaS, read Connecting Maia runners via AWS PrivateLink instead.
