Flume enables many source **Endpoints** to transact with a single destination **Endpoint**. The destination **Endpoint** will receive a single consolidated file, independent of the number of source **Endpoints**. This effectively turns multiple, complex connections into a single manageable, observable data pipeline.

Because each source Endpoint updates its own data table within the CDS, Flume supports replacement values for records, and inter-source duplicate handling.

This transaction can be configured either by:

- Creating a unique **Relay** for each source **Endpoint **
- Creating a single **Relay** with with multiple source **Endpoints** (1 Relay)
