Lifecycle of a transfer

Lifecycle of a transfer Data flows through Prequel Import in roughly the following sequence:
  1. Source - The origin of your provider’s data (e.g., a database, data warehouse, object storage, or other data platform)
  2. Dataset - The cached table or query for the data to be synced
  3. Stream - The loading pipeline that batches, maps, and delivers data to the target destination
  4. Destination - The target endpoint where processed data is delivered (API or Kafka topic)
