# Manage Connectors

WarpStream offers a built-in product called "Managed Data Pipelines" that runs embedded inside the Agents. Managed Data Pipelines is built on-top of the [open source library Bento](https://github.com/warpstreamlabs/bento). For more information on what connectors are available, check out the [Bento docs](https://bento.dev/) as well as the [WarpStream Managed Data Pipelines docs](https://docs.warpstream.com/warpstream/kafka/manage-connectors/bento).

In addition, since WarpStream is Kafka protocol compatible, any other Kafka-compatible connector framework like open-source [Apache Kafka Connect](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/) or [Confluent Platform Connectors](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/connect/kafka_connectors.html) will work as expected, although keep in mind you'll need to [tune their settings](https://docs.warpstream.com/warpstream/configure-kafka-client/tuning-for-performance#kafka-connect) to achieve high throughput with WarpStream.
