Destination resources use the sink type prefix. Golden supports Kafka, HTTP, JDBC, and Golden-table sinks. The current resource model does not define a file sink.

Kafka destinations

{
  "type": "sink-kafka",
  "_id": "customer_kafka_sink",
  "description": "Mastered customer delivery",
  "dataset": "customer_dataset",
  "bootstrapServers": "kafka1.example.com:9092",
  "topicName": "mastered-customers",
  "credentials": "kafka_credentials",
  "timeoutMs": 5000,
  "properties": [{"key": "acks", "value": "all"}]
}

Use properties only for producer options approved for the deployment. Keep authentication material in the referenced credentials resource. Properties are an array of key and value pairs, and their accepted names come from the Kafka client used by the target deployment.

HTTP destinations

{
  "type": "sink-http",
  "_id": "customer_http_sink",
  "description": "Mastered customer API",
  "dataset": "customer_dataset",
  "url": "https://receiver.example.com/customers",
  "credentials": "receiver_credentials",
  "timeoutMs": 5000,
  "method": "POST"
}

The supported methods are POST, PUT, and PATCH. The receiver should use stable record identity and define how a repeated request is handled because a timeout can make delivery outcome uncertain.

JDBC destinations

{
  "type": "sink-jdbc",
  "_id": "customer_warehouse_sink",
  "description": "Analytics customer table",
  "dataset": "customer_dataset",
  "url": "jdbc:postgresql://warehouse.example.com:5432/analytics",
  "credentials": "warehouse_credentials",
  "table": "public.customers",
  "logicalDelete": false,
  "writeTimestampFlag": false,
  "writeIdFlag": false,
  "properties": [{"key": "ssl", "value": "true"}]
}

JDBC sinks can additionally configure an operation column, logical-delete behavior, and columns that receive write identifiers or timestamps. Match those choices to the target table contract and test insert, update, and delete cases.

Golden-table destinations

{
  "type": "sink-table",
  "_id": "processed_customer_sink",
  "description": "Processed customer table",
  "table": "processed_customers"
}

A table sink writes to an existing Golden table and uses that table’s dataset. It only inserts records; it does not update rows that are already present. Confirm that insert-only behavior matches the target flow before enabling it.

Verify a destination

  1. Test the resource without saving it.
  2. Deliver a controlled record set through an entity configured with this destination. A table file export does not deliver records to a sink.
  3. Follow the resulting task.
  4. Verify record identity, field structure, and update behavior at the target.
  5. Enable recurring work only after the target result is correct.
