# Pipeline runner

The "**Run pipeline**" task is designed for running pipelines from each other and transferring datasets between them.

It allows you to have smaller and simpler pipelines and reuse them by calling from other ones.&#x20;

It is a similar concept to the software engineering approach to separate monolithic products into small microservices.
