The complexity and criticality of data pipelines require the implementation of best practices to ensure their quality, readability, and maintainability. Design patterns, which provide reusable solutions to common software design problems, can greatly improve the quality of data pipelines. In this article, we will explore how to apply design patterns in PySpark data pipelines to improve their reliability, efficiency, and scalability. We will focus on five common design patterns: Factory Pattern Singleton Pattern Builder Pattern Observer Pattern Pipeline Pattern By following clean code principles and implementing these design patterns, data pipelines can become more robust and maintainable.
