The marketplace for connectors.
Every connector is a VGI worker that exposes a real system as SQL tables and functions. Subscribe, then attach it from DuckDB or Haybarn with one line of SQL.
Connectors worth a look
Kafka
Streaming
Read and produce Kafka topics as SQL tables.
IMAP
Query mailboxes and messages over IMAP as tables.
HostQuery
Federation
Federate queries across remote database hosts.
Browse the Orchard
Every connector attaches as a SQL catalog in DuckDB or Haybarn. Filter by category or search to find one.
Subscribe, then attach
The Orchard adds the marketplace around VGI workers: discovery, subscriptions, credentials, and one consistent way to attach. Bring the connectors you need; leave the plumbing to the worker.
Browse the catalog
Find a connector or worker that exposes the system you need — streaming, email, governance, federation, or public data.
Subscribe
Pick a plan and get a token. Free connectors attach with no token at all; paid ones bill per worker.
Attach from SQL
ATTACH the worker in DuckDB or Haybarn and query its tables and functions like any other catalog.

Subscribe to a connector
Pick a plan, get a token, and attach. Free connectors need no token; paid connectors bill per worker with no infrastructure to run yourself.
