Managed connections

Use Strive-managed storage, databases, search, and vector resources.

Managed connections give your workspace a resource provisioned by Strive. Choose a managed catalog entry and create the connection without supplying a separate service's credentials. Provisioning still needs to complete successfully before the resource can be used.

Available resource types

Platform Store holds files and supports file and storage browsing. It is the managed storage used for App files and imported snapshots. “Local” in a storage experience refers to this managed store, not access to your computer's entire filesystem.

Platform Database provides structured tables. Use its connection view to inspect tables and their rows. This database surface is different from the user tables held inside an individual App; deleting a database table and deleting an App table are different operations.

Platform Search supplies a managed search provider. It supports search queries rather than a browseable list of all internet content.

Platform Vector Store holds vectorized information for retrieval. Its contents are representations used for similarity search, rather than a replacement for the source document viewer.

Using a managed resource

Name each connection for its purpose, inspect its detail page, and test it before connecting an automation. Select it explicitly in a workflow or App where a connection is required. Creating the resource alone does not define the workflow that reads or writes it.

Managed does not mean consequence-free. Emptying or dropping managed database tables, deleting files, or clearing vectors changes the stored data. Before deleting a managed connection, inspect its referencing workflows and read the confirmation about resource cleanup. If you only need to stop a workflow, pause or edit that workflow rather than destroying its resource.

See connection data and revoke or delete for the relevant distinctions.
