What are Data Pipelines in the context of RTCDP?

Data pipelines in the context of Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform (RTCDP) refer to facilitated processes for data automation. These pipelines enable the seamless collection, transformation, and movement of data from various sources into the RTCDP environment. By automating these processes, businesses can efficiently manage large volumes of data, ensuring that it is continually updated and ready for real-time analysis and activation.

The automation aspect of data pipelines is critical because it reduces the need for manual intervention, minimizes errors, and accelerates the overall data processing time. This capability allows organizations to respond more quickly to customer needs and insights, leveraging real-time data for personalized marketing strategies and enhanced customer experiences.

In contrast, manual processes for data entry, tools for data encryption, and systems for data deletion do not capture the essence or functionality of data pipelines within the RTCDP framework, which is focused on streamlining and automating the handling of data.
