# GoodData FlexConnect
GoodData FlexConnect allows you to build your own data source for GoodData Cloud or Cloud Native.
FlexConnect works with a concept similar to 'table functions' that you may already know
from database technologies.
- To build your own data source, you implement one or more FlexConnect functions. The
functions compute and return tabular data - how they do it is completely up to you.
- The functions are hosted and invoked inside a FlexConnect server (which is included in this package).
- A running FlexConnect server can be added as a data source to your GoodData Cloud or GoodData Cloud Native.
- The functions available on FlexConnect server will be mapped to data sets within GoodData's Semantic Model
and from then on can be used during report computation.
## Getting Started using the FlexConnect
The easiest and recommended way to get started with FlexConnect is to use [the template repository](https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-flexconnect-template).
The template repository is set up with project infrastructure and boilerplate related to testing, packaging and
running your FlexConnect functions. You can start building your own data source in under a minute.
The template also comes with extensive documentation which will guide you through all important steps and facets
of building production-ready FlexConnect functions.
If you are eager to get started, here is a short snippet to bootstrap a new FlexConnect project:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/gooddata/gooddata-flexconnect-template.git my-flexconnect
cd my-flexconnect
rm -rf .git && git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial commit"
```
