Pipelines

Pipeline Management

Each block in a pipeline maps to an individual file within a project. Blocks can be reused and shared across multiple pipelines within the same project.

Use the output of a block to dynamically create more blocks.

Data integration is the process of synchronizing data between two systems.

There are many ways to configure your data integration pipeline.

Configuration

Configure data integration pipelines

Load data from data integration sources and export to data integration destinations as blocks inside batch pipelines.
