Notes:
Yahoo! Pipes was a web-based service that allowed users to create custom feeds and data processing pipelines. It was launched by Yahoo! in February 2007 and was considered to be one of the first “data mashup” tools available to the general public.
Pipes allowed users to create custom data processing pipelines by connecting a series of “pipes” together, each of which performed a specific function, such as filtering, sorting, or manipulating data. Users could create custom feeds by combining data from multiple sources and applying a series of transformations to it. The resulting feed could be consumed by other applications, such as RSS readers or web widgets.
Pipes was widely used for a variety of purposes, such as news aggregation, social media monitoring, and weather tracking. Many developers also used it to create custom data feeds for their own applications. The platform was initially praised for its flexibility and ease of use, and it quickly attracted a large community of users and developers.
However, despite its popularity, Pipes was eventually discontinued by Yahoo in 2015. The company cited a lack of usage and resources as the reason for its discontinuation. The website and documentation remained accessible for some time after the shutdown, but it eventually shut down the site permanently.
The discontinuation of Yahoo Pipes was seen as a disappointment for many developers, who had come to rely on the service for their own projects.
- Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) is a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to connect different software applications and data sources. iPaaS provides a wide range of integration capabilities, such as data mapping, data transformation, and data flow management. This allows companies to easily and quickly integrate their existing systems and automate business processes across different systems and data sources. iPaaS solutions are designed to be easy to use and don’t require technical expertise to implement.
- Workflow Automation refers to the process of automating repetitive, time-consuming tasks and processes. Workflow automation can encompass a wide range of activities, including data entry, form submission, data validation, and document routing. The goal of workflow automation is to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve communication within the organization. Workflow automation can be implemented through the use of software and technology, such as business process management systems and robotic process automation (RPA) software.
