Having examined the Extract, Transform, and Load stages individually, this chapter focuses on how these steps are connected to form an automated data workflow, known as an ETL pipeline. We will define what constitutes a pipeline, examine task dependencies within its workflow, and provide an overview of the tools used for building them. Additionally, the fundamentals of scheduling pipeline runs, along with basic monitoring and logging practices, will be covered. You will apply these ideas by designing a basic pipeline structure.
