Data pipeline

A series of interconnected processes, like a carefully planned journey, that transports data from its source to its destination, transforming and enriching it along the way to ensure it arrives in a form that can be readily consumed and utilized.

Example

An online streaming platform might create a data pipeline to analyze user behavior and preferences. The pipeline collects data from user interactions with the platform, processes and enriches it with additional information, such as demographics or viewing history, and then delivers it to a system where it can be used to generate personalized recommendations and improve user experiences.
