Processors

Tyk Streams processors are functions applied to messages passing through a pipeline.

Processors are set via config, and depending on where in the config they are placed they will be run either immediately after a specific input (set in the input section), on all messages (set in the pipeline section) or before a specific output (set in the output section). Most processors apply to all messages and can be placed in the pipeline section:

pipeline:
  threads: 1
  processors:
    - label: my_avro
      avro:
        operator: "to_json"
        encoding: textual

The threads field in the pipeline section determines how many parallel processing threads are created. You can read more about parallel processing in the pipeline guide.

Labels

Processors have an optional field label that can uniquely identify them in observability data such as metrics and logs.
