# Connect Sources

> Understand how source data enters DataHarbor and is normalized before governance begins.

# Connect Sources

This section covers the source side of the platform: how data gets into DataHarbor before object matching, controls, and delivery happen.

Start with [HTTP Sources](./http-sources) or [GraphQL Sources](./graphql-sources), then use [Input Normalization](./input-normalization) to understand how payloads are parsed before governance begins.

Over time, this section can also house source-specific connection guides for systems like Snowflake and other upstream platforms.

After you have the source side understood, continue to [Build Virtual APIs](../core) to define the governed view that sits in front of it.
