Which option is the best way to store easily readable data for simple handoffs across different build steps?
Retain environment variables in each script to pass data around
Use a specialized database with multiple tables
Compress everything in one archive and run it in a container
Maintain a single text document that can be accessed by multiple tools
Maintaining a lightweight file without complex structure is a recommended approach when a pipeline needs a straightforward way to share and parse data. A text-based file, also known as a flat file, is simple to manage and requires few dependencies. A specialized database or container archive might introduce extra maintenance. Using environment variables can be limited when managing larger datasets or when multiple independent tools require direct access.
