Quick Start

This guide will walk you through creating your first Bizon pipeline.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed Bizon before continuing.

Create Your First Pipeline

List available sources

First, explore what sources are available:
Terminal window
```
bizon sources list
```
List streams for a source

Once you’ve chosen a source, list its available streams:
Terminal window
```
bizon sources streams <source_name>
```

Create a pipeline configuration

Create a config.yml file with your pipeline configuration:

name: my-first-pipeline

source:
  type: <source_type>
  # Add source-specific configuration

destination:
  type: bigquery
  config:
    project_id: your-project
    dataset: your_dataset
    table: your_table

# Optional: Configure queue and backend
queue:
  type: python  # Use 'rabbitmq' or 'kafka' for production

backend:
  type: sqlite  # Use 'postgres' or 'bigquery' for production

Run the pipeline

Execute your pipeline:
Terminal window
```
bizon run config.yml
```
