In their own words
Google Cloud Application Integration
Google Cloud Application Integration connects and manages applications and data used in business operations. It is a serverless, fully managed service that scales automatically. A visual drag-and-drop editor supports flow design with little or no code, while a mapping editor handles data transformations. Flows can combine triggers and tasks for looping, parallel execution, conditional routing, and manual approvals. Prebuilt connectors link Google Cloud services and business applications such as Salesforce, MongoDB, and MySQL; custom connectors and webhook triggers are also supported. Reusable workflows and RESTful APIs let teams build on and manage integrations programmatically. Google describes the service as suited to enterprise architects, integration developers, and business analysts. The free tier includes up to 400 executions and 20 GiB of monthly processed data. Pay-as-you-go costs $0.50 per 1,000 executions, with additional charges possible for connection nodes and other Google Cloud resources. A project can contain up to 1,000 integrations, each with up to 100 versions. The SLA specifies 99.9% monthly uptime for an active individual integration.
