Pipe and Filter Design Pattern

Break up logic in small steps instead of a long-run service or process.

Approach

• Each request must call services separately instead of a long-running service.
• Data is passed from one filter to another filter.
• Filters exchange data use a standardized format and protocol.

Why filter data must be standardized?

• We can add or remove filters to/from pipeline.
• Reorder filter execution.
• Use the same filter in different pipelines.
