Data Pipeline

A data pipeline is the automated path that moves information from where it is created to where it is used, cleaning and reshaping it along the way. Sales from your online shop, for example, might flow automatically each night into a single report, without anyone copying and pasting between spreadsheets.

Picture the plumbing behind your taps: you never see the pipes, but they carry water from the source to the sink, filtered and ready to use. A dependable data pipeline matters because it removes slow, error-prone manual steps, so the numbers people rely on each morning are fresh and consistent rather than out of date.
