# Data Ingestion

> Data ingestion is the first step in Datazone's data journey.

# Overview

Data Ingestion is where data from various sources is imported into the platform for processing, analysis, and storage. This process is managed through two key concepts: [Sources](/key-concepts#source) and [Extracts](/key-concepts#extract). Sources in Datazone represent the origin points of your data, serving as the foundation for all data operations within the platform. Each source can be configured with specific parameters to ensure secure and efficient data retrieval.

## Getting Started

To configure a new source:

1. Select your source type from the available connectors
2. Provide the required connection details
3. Start creating extracts from your source

For detailed configuration steps, visit the specific documentation page for your chosen source type.
