Have you ever had to write a program that needed to handle any data payload that could be thrown at you? If so, did you always have to update the said component with new parsing rules for the different data assets coming your way, with the added pain of redeploys and an endlessly growing codebase? You’ve probably encountered a situation where you had a central routing/transforming application that you wished you could write once and never have to update again (one can dream, right?).
