Workflow Orchestration
An approach for centrally managing multiple data processing steps through dependency, sequencing, and scheduling rules.
Workflow orchestration is necessary not just for having data pipelines, but for making them run in a coordinated way. Which task starts first, which depends on another, and how failures should be handled are defined in the orchestration layer. Without this structure, complex data systems quickly become brittle. Orchestration is the control layer that turns technical data movement into an operationally managed process.
