A method for generating a data processing pipeline is provided. The method may include generating a user interface for displaying, at a client, a first operator node and a second operator node. The first operator node and the second operator node may each correspond to a data processing operation. In response to one or more inputs received from the client via the user interface, the first operator node and/or the second operator node may be added to a graph displayed in the user interface. The graph may be representative of a data processing pipeline. The first operator node and the second operator node may further be interconnected with an directed edge. The data processing pipeline may be generated based on the graph. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
