Pipeline

A pipeline is a chain of steps that composes a sequential set of actions.

A pipeline is used with:

• datasets, to read, transform and save data

• continuous integration, where each check and packaging follows the previous one

• processing, where each step is a separate process

The pipeline image is related to the assembly line, from factories.
