# Low Code Visual Authoring

Assembling a data pipeline is very simple. Just click and drag the component you want to use into editor canvas.  Connect the component output to an event/topic.

A wide variety of out-of-the-box components are available to read, write, transform, ingest data into the BDB Data Pipeline from a wide variety of data sources.

Components can be easily configured just by specifying the required metadata.

For extensibility, we have provided Python-based scripting support that allows the pipeline developer to build complex business requirements which cannot be met by out-of-the-box components.
