Endpoint, credentials, and the adapter that knows how to speak to that system. Those three are a connection. IT IS A SHARED OBJECT RATHER THAN PART OF AN INTEGRATION, and that is a design decision with consequences in both directions. What it buys: one place to change a credential, one place to see what the estate talks to, and a flow that does not carry a copy of an endpoint somebody will forget to update. Ten integrations against one Fusion instance share one connection, and rotating that password is one edit. What it costs: BLAST RADIUS. That same edit affects ten flows at once, and a connection edited while integrations are mid-flight is one of the failures in Lesson 10.
