A data pipeline is the means by which data travels from one place to another within an organization’s tech stack. It can include any building or processing block that assists with moving data from one end to another.
Data pipelines typically consist of:
Typical data pipeline use cases include:
Data pipelines can be built in-house but are now more commonly built in the cloud because of the elasticity and flexibility it provides.
A data pipeline allows organizations to optimize their data and maximize its value by manipulating it in ways that benefit the business. For example, a company that develops and sells an application for automating stoplights in large cities might use its data pipeline to train data sets for machine learning so that the application can then work optimally for the cities, allowing stoplights to move traffic efficiently through streets.
The primary benefits of a data pipeline are:
Automation and orchestration are critical aspects of data pipelines. Data pipeline automation is the ability to run any of the data pipeline’s components at the time and speed at which you need them to run. Data pipeline orchestration is the process of running all of the components in a coordinated manner.
Full data pipeline automation enables organizations to seamlessly integrate data from various sources to fuel business applications and data analytics, quickly crunch real-time data to drive better business decisions, and easily scale cloud-based solutions.
Orchestration enables DataOps teams to centralize the management and control of end-to-end data pipelines. It allows them to perform monitoring and reporting and get proactive alerts.
Like data pipelines, extract, transform, and load (ETL) systems, also known as ETL pipelines, take data from one place to another.
However, unlike data pipelines, ETL pipelines, by definition:
ETL systems are typically, but not always, subsets of data pipelines.
A data pipeline is only as efficient and effective as its constituent parts. A single weak or broken link can break your entire pipeline and lead to a large amount of lost investment and time.
That’s why today’s enterprises are looking for solutions that help them make the most of their data without adding significant costs.
A data storage solution such as a unified fast file and object (UFFO) storage platform consolidates all data—both structured and unstructured—into a central accessible data layer. In contrast to a data warehouse, it can handle operational data, and unlike a data lake, it can serve data in multiple formats.
A UFFO storage platform can also consolidate data lakes and data warehouses into a single access layer and provide the data governance needed to streamline data sharing between a diverse collection of endpoints. With a data hub, the data processing is abstracted away, giving your organization a centralized place from which to extract business intelligence (BI) insights.
