# Connectors

Connectors in Stadium are used to join your application together with other services or datasources. For example, create a connector to communicate with a database or to read or write files to the file system. The following connectors are available:

***

[**Database**](https://docs.stadium.software/connectors/database-connector)

Use this to connect to your databases and run queries or stored procedures.

[**File System**](https://docs.stadium.software/connectors/file-system-connector)

<div align="left"><img src="https://3514041584-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqxH8JA8xG3I22tiZG5H6%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9fe5dfcc2cbc905ae6a2f805dcb65c2e1a5ee26e%2Ffilesystemconnector.png?alt=media" alt=""></div>

Add a working folder to your application. This connector connects to a folder on your local harddisk or to a network folder and allows your application to read/write/delete a file from that specific folder or subfolders within it.
