Problem

Explain the process of pipeline design end to end.

Cover how you gather requirements, select batch or streaming patterns, ingest and transform data, model and store outputs, orchestrate dependencies, validate quality, monitor operations, handle failures, and support backfills. Discuss how you would make the design idempotent, observable, secure, cost-effective, and maintainable as data volume and schema complexity grow.
