RSS Integrations
Lucy uses microservices to create connectors to different integrations and works with a variety of content formats, including RSS feeds. This allows a scalable, secure, maintainable connection to be established with a wide variety of sources. These source connectors are highly customizable, if necessary, based on the available feeds, update strategy, and metadata requirements.
