Cloud linking

Connect a cloud account to your Ductape workspace once. Reference it by tag on any product component. Ductape imports or provisions the resource, stores credentials as workspace secrets, and refreshes them at runtime.

Supported providers: AWS, GCP, Azure, MongoDB Atlas, Neo4j Aura.

How it works

Step	What you do	Docs
1. Connect	Create a workspace cloud connection, add provider credentials, validate	Cloud connections
2. Link	Set cloud: '<tag>' and a resource name on a component env	Link components
3. Run	Use ductape.databases.connect(), ductape.storage.upload(), etc. — credentials resolve automatically	Component docs below

Connection tags

Every connection has a stable tag (for example prod_aws, prod_gcp). Use that tag everywhere — never an internal connection ID.

TypeScript

// On a database env
{ slug: 'prd', cloud: 'prod_aws', instance: 'my-app-db', region: 'us-east-1' }

// On low-level cloud APIs
await ductape.cloud.resources.list({ cloud: 'prod_aws', service: 's3', region: 'us-east-1' });

Java

// On a database env
Map.of( "slug", "prd", "cloud", "prod_aws", "instance", "my-app-db", "region", "us-east-1" )

// On low-level cloud APIs
ductape.cloud.resources.list(Map.of( "cloud", "prod_aws", "service", "s3", "region", "us-east-1" ));

Go

// On a database env
{ "slug": "prd", "cloud": "prod_aws", "instance": "my-app-db", "region": "us-east-1" }

// On low-level cloud APIs
client.cloud.resources.list({ "cloud": "prod_aws", "service": "s3", "region": "us-east-1" });

.NET

// On a database env
{ ["slug"] = "prd", ["cloud"] = "prod_aws", ["instance"] = "my-app-db", ["region"] = "us-east-1" }

// On low-level cloud APIs
await ductape.cloud.resources.list({ ["cloud"] = "prod_aws", ["service"] = "s3", ["region"] = "us-east-1" });

Workbench or SDK

Both paths do the same thing:

• Workbench — Cloud sidebar → add connection → link from the component editor when you save.
• SDK — connections.create → connections.complete → create/update component with cloud on the env.

Next

1. Set up a cloud connection
2. Link your first component
3. AWS networking — only if you use RDS or Neptune
