tassemples
Tassemples are modular, reusable units intended for building automated workflows. A tassemble encapsulates a task or small set of tasks into a self-contained unit that can be parameterized, versioned, and composed with other tassemblies in a pipeline. They typically include a task definition, input and output schemas, configuration parameters, and a description of execution steps.
Design and components: A tassemble comprises a template, a runtime adapter, and metadata. The template defines
Usage and benefits: Tassemblies support modular design, enabling reuse across projects and teams. They help standardize
Example: a tassemble named DataCleanse with inputs rawData and config; steps: cleanMissing(data, config.missingPolicy) -> data1; normalize(data1, configNormalization)
Limitations: Overhead in maintaining many tassemblies; potential for duplication if interfaces diverge; requires governance to avoid
