Data pipeline

A series of connected processes that moves data from its source to its destination, transforming and enriching it along the way so it arrives in a form that can be readily used.

Example

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