1111

1212
Segment has [Sources](/docs/connections/sources/) and [Destinations](/docs/connections/destinations/). Sources send data _into_ Segment, while Destinations receive data _from_ Segment.

## Destination connection types
15+
Segment has three destination connection types:
16+
* [Event streams](#event-streams-destinations)
17+
* [Storage](#storage-destinations)
18+
* [Reverse ETL](#reverse-etl-destinations)
19+
20+
### Event streams destinations
21+
Event streams destinations are all destinations that aren't storage or Reverse ETL destinations. Adding these destinations allow you to act on your data and learn more about your customers in real time. These include [Destination Actions](/docs/connections/destinations/actions/).
22+
23+
### Storage destinations
24+
Storage destinations enable you to store your raw Segment data. This enables data analysts and data scientists to work with the raw data to derive deeper and more customized insights to support your organization. Learn more from the [storage overview page](/docs/connections/storage/).
25+
26+
### Reverse ETL destinations
27+
[Reverse ETL](/docs/connections/reverse-etl) destinations are the business tools or apps you use that Segment syncs the data from your warehouse to.
28+
29+
If your destination is not listed in the Reverse ETL catalog, use the [Segment Connections destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-segment/) to send data from your Reverse ETL warehouse to other destinations listed in the [catalog](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/). The Segment Connections destination enables you to mold data extracted from your warehouse in [Segment Spec](docs/connections/spec/) API calls that are then processed by [Segment’s HTTP Tracking API](/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/server/http-api/). The Segment HTTP Tracking API lets you record analytics data. The requests hit Segment’s servers, and then Segment routes your data to any destination you want. Get started with the [Segment Connections destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/actions-segment/).

## Method compatibility

1634
Not all destinations can accept data from specific method types. To know if a destination can accept data from specific method types, look for the *Quick Info* box at the top of the destination's documentation page, or check out the [Destinations Methods comparison chart](/docs/connections/destinations/methods-compare/).

Connections is Segment's core product offering: you can collect event data from your mobile apps, websites, and servers with one API, then pull in contextual data from cloud apps like your CRM, payment systems, and internal databases to build a unified picture of your customers.
