You build pipelines visually by placing and connecting nodes to define the structure and logic for data flows. Each node performs a specific task - for example, the [trigger](/documentation/brigge-for-transformers/pipelines/pipeline-nodes/trigger-node.md) node determines how and when a pipeline runs; the [connector](/documentation/brigge-for-transformers/pipelines/pipeline-nodes/connector-node.md) node determines which external system and endpoint is called; the [map](/documentation/brigge-for-transformers/pipelines/pipeline-nodes/map-node.md) node determines the correlation between source and target fields (and any data transformations required), etc. During the prototyping/testing phase, you can run pipelines and monitor test runs in real time, directly from the editor. Once your pipeline is ready, you can enable automated triggers and [deploy](/documentation/brigge-for-transformers/pipelines/pipeline-versions-and-deployments.md) to one or more environments.
