# Solutions and Integrations

The "Solutions and Integrations" category in the VAST Data developer documentation covering areas for deploying and connecting the VAST Data Platform with other technologies.

- [**Big Data**](/develop/docs/bigdata-solutions) Has three guides on connecting AWS-compatible tools (boto3, AWSCLI and Hadoop) through VAST STS, tuning Hadoop's S3A client, and benchmarking Kafka with the OpenMessaging framework.
- [**Database Solutions**](/develop/docs/database-solution) Has eight articles. They cover VAST DataBase and Vector Database resources, querying the VAST Catalog (with code examples), Trino integration (a quick-start guide, external clusters, running Trino on CNodes, and query resiliency using S3 spooling), and auditing database queries.
- [**Data Protection Integrations**](/develop/docs/data-protection-integrations) has guides for backup and recovery with Commvault (including isolated recovery) and Cohesity DataProtect. Infrastructure Solutions covers TACACS+ integration with NVIDIA Cumulus Linux and Cisco ISE, plus using Envoy as an S3 load balancer or proxy and configuring a load balancer health-check URL.
- [**Data Engine Lab Guides**](/develop/docs/data-engine-lab-guides) is a ten-step walkthrough for building a non-production VAST DataEngine lab. It runs from collecting resource values and setting up tenants and VIP pools, through installing an RKE2 Kubernetes cluster, a Podman registry, the CSI driver and the DataEngine prerequisites, to connecting DataEngine, installing the vastde CLI, and running a "Hello World" pipeline.
