Destinations

A destination refers to the final target where processed or transformed data is sent after passing through a pipeline. It handles the final output, whether by storing the data, triggering further processes, or integrating with other systems. To manage this, destinations provide three key functionalities:

1. Setup initializes necessary resources or connections, like opening a database connection or authenticating with an external service.
2. Execute handles the actual data processing, such as sending the data to an API, inserting it into a database, or uploading it to cloud storage.
3. Teardown ensures proper cleanup by closing connections and releasing any resources used during the setup or execution phases.
