Understanding the Code with an Analogy
Imagine you’re a chef organizing a dinner party. Each dish you prepare represents a function in your pipeline. You have a collection of ingredients (data) that need to be processed in a specific sequence to avoid chaos in the kitchen (logical order). Orchest acts as your sous-chef, helping you to visualize each step and ensuring each ingredient is available when needed. You can focus on perfecting the recipes (your code) while Orchest handles the timing and coordination needed for a successful and delicious event (pipeline execution).
