What is Pipelines?

In the context of software development and data engineering, a pipeline refers to a series of automated processes or stages that transform data or code from one form to another. Pipelines are commonly used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), data processing, machine learning model training, and other tasks that involve a sequence of steps. They automate tasks such as building, testing, and deploying software, or extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) data.
