Full definition of transform
Transforms are the glue between systems that don't speak the same data shape. Common transforms: parse JSON, split a string, format a date, compute a derived field. Tiny Command has typed transform nodes and an optional code step (JavaScript) for complex logic. Avoid putting business logic in transforms — keep them about data shape, not decisions.

FAQ
Common questions about transform
Transform or code step?
Transform for one-off field changes. Code step when you need conditional logic, loops, or to call external libraries.
What if my transform fails?
Tiny Command catches errors per step and retries. Persistent failures land in the DLQ for inspection.
