Post Processor Scripts
Post processor scripts are custom scripts or programs that run after a primary process or tool completes its execution, typically to modify, analyze, or transform the output. They are commonly used in data pipelines, build systems, and automation workflows to clean, format, or enrich data, generate reports, or trigger subsequent actions. These scripts enable developers to extend and customize the functionality of existing tools without modifying their core code.
Developers should use post processor scripts when they need to automate repetitive tasks after a main process, such as sanitizing log files, converting data formats (e.g., JSON to CSV), or integrating outputs into other systems. They are essential in CI/CD pipelines for tasks like deploying artifacts, sending notifications, or running tests after a build, and in data processing to ensure data quality and consistency before further analysis or storage.
