Data Pipelines
Data Science, Analytics and AI/ML
A data pipeline is a series of automated processes that move data from one or more sources to a destination, typically involving steps like extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL or ELT). Data engineers build and maintain pipelines using tools like Apache Airflow, Spark, or cloud-native services to ensure data flows reliably and efficiently for analytics, reporting, or machine learning. Well-designed pipelines handle scheduling, error handling, and scaling as data volume grows.
