A data pipeline moves data to a destination, transforming it along the way. It turns raw data into something useful.
Pipelines are the foundation of our data-driven modern society.
In this multi-part series, we’ll explore what it takes to deliver an effective data pipeline, from idea to fruition.

Data pipelines are really cool. But also, really hard to build.
Data pipelines pose challenges we should all master. They push the limits on design, architecture, performance and even predicting the future.

Pilots use playbooks. They use their playbook every time they fly.
SCUBA divers, too. Forgetting to check your air supply means you could die.
Sports teams use them every time they play.
Why don’t engineering teams rely on them too?

A target state architecture allows us to reason about current and future state, its challenges, and designed solutions. It’s not any one single thing, not just an elegant drawing or technical model. Also, it should embody the principle of “strong opinions, loosely held." #designthinking
What is a target state architecture?
Your "target state architecture" is exactly what your project needs in order to adequately describe current state, its problems, and desired solutions.
