The terms "connector" and "service" are considered from what perspective?

The terms "connector" and "service" are best understood from the perspective of your application. In Pega, a connector is used to facilitate communication between your application and external systems, enabling the application to send and receive data. Meanwhile, a service behaves similarly but operates in the opposite direction, allowing external systems to interact with your application.

Connecting to external systems is a common functionality in application development, and it is essential in establishing how your application sends requests to and receives responses from those systems. This perspective highlights the role of Pega's connectors and services as enabling components that extend the capabilities of the application, making it more versatile and integrated with other software solutions.

The other options, while relevant in their own contexts, do not capture the primary consideration of connectors and services as they pertain directly to the architecting of an application that interfaces with outside data and services.
