Abstract: A computer-based method for managing a dataflow pipeline across a plurality of environments, includes the steps of: receiving, for a first environment, a check-in comprising source code, a task definition, a configuration, and a flow definition; receiving a definition of an application secret and an associated credential; storing the application secret and credential in a dataflow pipeline deployer data store; creating a data flow pipeline package, further comprising the steps of: merging the source code, the configuration, and the secrets; and defining a pipeline graph in the first environment pipeline flow registry.
