Click on the Marketplace connector to read the description and pricing information.
Click Launch .

Deploy a connector

After you purchase a Marketplace connector, do the following:

Specify the deployment configuration. For information, see Deploy products .
Click Deploy .

Set up private connectivity

After you deploy the connector, set up private connectivity for the connector. For information, see Configure private connectivity . When you create a connection, in the Destination section, you will specify the host address or the endpoint attachment.

Use the Marketplace connector to create a connection

After you deploy a Marketplace connector, you can create a connection using the connector.

Create a connection in Integration Connectors

In the Cloud console , go to the Integration Connectors > Connections page and then select or create a Google Cloud project.
Go to the Connections page
Click + Create new to open the Create Connection page.
In the Connector section, select the Marketplace connector that you want to use. If you haven't purchased the Marketplace connector, a message appears indicating that you need to purchase the connector.
Specify the required connection details and then click Create .

Create a connection in Application Integration

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Application Integration page.
In your existing integration or new integration, click the Connectors task element on the designer to view the Connectors task configuration pane.
Click Configure connector .

System limitations

The Marketplace connector can process 100 transactions per second, per node , and throttles any transactions beyond this limit. By default, Application Integration allocates 2 nodes (for better availability) for a connection.

For information on the limits applicable to Application Integration, see Limits .

Note: The number of Integration Connectors nodes will autoscale dynamically based on your usage. However, if you want to reserve capacity for large volumes without waiting for autoscaling, you can adjust the minimum node value for a connection. More nodes are required to process more transactions for a connection. Conversely, fewer nodes are required if a connection processes fewer transactions. To configure the node values, do the following:

If you are a pay-as-you-go customer, configure the minimum and maximum node value in the edit connection page.
If you are a subscription based customer, contact support .

The maximum transactions that a node can handle depends on various factors. So, before adjusting the minimum nodes for better throughput, it is recommended you check if your backend systems are set up optimally to handle the required traffic.
