Architecture principles for building an connect application

• Connector solution should be lightweight in nature
• Connector solutions should follow test driven development. Unit , Integration (& E2E) tests should be included and successfully passed to be used
• No hardcoding of customer related config. If needed, values in an environment file which should not be maintained in repository
• Connector solution should be supported with detailed documentation
• Connectors should be point to point in nature, currently doesnt support any persistence capabilities apart from in memory persistence
• Connector solution should use open source technologies, although connector itself can be private for specific customer(s)
• Code should not contain console.log statements, use the included logger instead.
