What you type

Create a daily data pipeline flowchart that extracts changed PostgreSQL orders to Cloud Storage, checks the schema, quarantines failures, deduplicates records, validates revenue and row counts, loads BigQuery, runs a MERGE and dbt marts, then publishes sales dashboard data.

The drawing

What a data pipeline diagram is.

A data pipeline diagram shows how data moves from a source to a destination. It names the stages that ingest, validate, transform, store, and publish the data, with arrows showing the order and branches for rejected records or failed runs.

Use one to explain a system before it is built, document the system that exists, or trace where a dataset was changed. Include the checks and handoffs that matter to the people operating the pipeline.

Who uses it

Who uses data pipeline diagrams.

Data engineers

Batch and streaming jobs with the sources, tests, storage layers, and outputs that must be operated together.

Analytics teams

Warehouse transformations that show how operational data becomes metrics and dashboards.

Product and platform teams

Event pipelines that make validation, privacy filtering, and downstream analytics visible.
