What is data pipeline in Salesforce?

A data pipeline in Salesforce refers to the process of moving data from one system to another, typically from external sources to Salesforce or from Salesforce to external systems. The data pipelines typically include data import, data extraction, and data transformation. This can be done using features built-in to Salesforce (such as a Salesforce API or tools like data loader) or using third-party tools, which offer a more efficient and sustainable long-term solution. An example of this is Zuar’s automated data pipeline solution, Zuar Runner.
