The termdata pipeline architecture refers to the overall architecture and flow of the data process within an organization. It usually consists of the data source, ingesting, processing/transforming, storage, and destination. The data pipeline involves collecting data from sources such as databases, applications, APIs, and files that are then moved through the process steps in a pipeline. A contemporary data pipeline may work on either a continual basis or based on pre-scheduled pipelines. Organizations are able to use data pipelines tools to manage data ingesting, transforming, monitoring, and delivering. An effective architecture is helpful for ensuring data quality, scalability, and reliability as the amount of data becomes larger.
