Checkpoint: Streaming Pipeline
intermediate20 min readLesson 70 of 169
Compose generators into a memory-safe pipeline over a big input.
Streams everywhere: logs, exports, sensor feeds. Your checkpoint: build a pipeline of generator stages over a list of log lines — filter, parse, transform — without ever materializing the whole result.
Working with AI: a good prompt is "review my pipeline for stages that accidentally build full lists in memory" — asking AI to find the lazy/eager boundary is a real skill.
