Although the graph representation of a pipeline provides an intuitive overview of thetasks in the pipeline and their dependencies, you may find yourself wondering why wewouldn’t just use a simple script to run this linear chain of three steps. To illustratesome advantages of the graph-based approach, let’s jump to a slightly bigger example.In this new use case, we’ve been approached by the owner of an umbrella companywho was inspired by our weather dashboard and would like to try to use machinelearning (ML) to increase the efficiency of their operation. To do so, the companyowner would like us to implement a data pipeline that creates an ML model correlating umbrella sales with weather patterns. This model can then be used to predict howmuch demand there will be for the company’s umbrellas in the coming weeks, depending on the weather forecasts for those weeks
