DSL & Pipelines

Cyntex’s task description language (DSL) uses YAML format with the file extension .cyn.yml.

For detailed syntax reference, see DSL Grammar Reference.

Core Concepts

  • Resource model: Two resource types — source (data source connection) and pipeline (data pipeline)
  • Dual-layer storage: Local file = authoring draft; MongoDB = single source of truth
  • Apply semantics: validate → canonicalize → upsert (no-op if hash is unchanged)
  • Single schema: JSON Schema from one source drives validate / explain / MCP / e2e

Example File Structure

apiVersion: cyntex/v1
kind: pipeline
id: my-pipeline
source: mysql-prod
transforms:
  - name: filter
    filter: "record.status == 'active'"
sync:
  - source: users
    target:
      collection: user_profiles
