# Cloud and automation connectivity

> Connect Speckle to external systems with server-side jobs, ETL, orchestration, and version-driven automation.

**When to use:** Server-side jobs move data **between Speckle and other systems** (ETL, orchestration, CI), or react to new **versions** to update external tools.

**Typical stack:**

* [specklepy](/developers/sdks/python/introduction) or GraphQL directly
* [Webhooks](/developers/api/webhooks) for version events

**Docs:** [Python guides](/developers/sdks/python/guides/how-to-work-with-objects) · [Updating syncs](/developers/api/guides/updating-syncs) · [GraphQL API](/developers/api/graphql)

<Note>
  [Speckle Automate](/developers/automate/introduction) runs functions **on Speckle model data** (checks, reports). Use Automate for on-platform processing; use specklepy + GraphQL when syncing with **external** systems.
