# Connecting Components

The connecting components help to assemble various pipeline components and create a Pipeline Workflow. Just click and drag the component you want to use into the editor canvas. Connect the component output to an event/topic.

Once a Pipeline is created the User Interface of the Data Pipeline provides a canvas for the user to build the data flow (Pipeline Workflow).

The Pipeline assembling process can be divided into two parts as mentioned below:  

1. Adding Components to the Canvas 
2. Adding Connecting Components (Events) to create the Data flow/ Pipeline workflow

Each components inside a pipeline are fully decoupled. Each component acts as a producer and consumer of data. The design is based on event-driven process orchestration.

For passing the output of one component to another component we need an intermediatory event.

An event-driven architecture contains three items:

* Event Producer \[Components]
* Event Stream \[Event (Kafka topic/ DB Sync)
* Event Consumer \[Components]
