# Use Debezium source connector with configuration provider
<a name="mkc-debeziumsource-connector-example"></a>

This example shows how to use the Debezium MySQL connector plugin with a MySQL-compatible [Amazon Aurora](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/) database as the source. In this example, we also set up the open-source [AWS Secrets Manager Config Provider](https://github.com/jcustenborder/kafka-config-provider-aws) to externalize database credentials in AWS Secrets Manager. To learn more about configuration providers, see [Tutorial: Externalizing sensitive information using config providers](msk-connect-config-provider.md).

**Important**  
The Debezium MySQL connector plugin [supports only one task](https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/stable/connectors/mysql.html#mysql-property-tasks-max) and does not work with autoscaled capacity mode for Amazon MSK Connect. You should instead use provisioned capacity mode and set `workerCount` equal to one in your connector configuration. To learn more about the capacity modes for MSK Connect, see [Understand connector capacity](msk-connect-capacity.md).
