Sync data from custom internal server to Drupal
- drupal 9 api endpoint
Current use case is a very small amount of data.
We have an internal SQL Server where [some data] are updated once, occasionally twice per day. What is the most efficient way to publish the [data] to the [relevant] page and the featured [relevant data] bar? My ideas so far:
A job on the internal server that publishes a file via FTP to the Drupal website, then Drupal can get the rates from that file (using Feeds module or something similar)? -Direct connection from the Drupal website to the internal SQL Server using sqlsrv module?
