Worker Types

What’s a Worker?

Workers are the building blocks that make up Pipelines. They each constitute a single step in the process of syncing data between sources.

Key Characteristics:

1. Task-Oriented: Each worker is designed to execute a well-defined operation, like grabbing files, transforming data, or pushing data to a target system.

2. Modular: Workers can be combined and sequenced within a pipeline to achieve complex data processing tasks.

3. Configurable: Workers are configured through zSYNC’s user interface or API, allowing flexibility and customisation.

4. Automated Execution: Once set up, workers operate automatically as part of scheduled or triggered workflows.
