Explanation
In Delta Live Tables, the Pipeline Mode determines how the cluster behaves after processing. Continuous Pipeline Mode keeps the pipeline perpetually running, processing new data as it arrives rather than shutting down after a single pass. In this mode, streaming tables continuously consume new records and non-streaming LIVE TABLEs are refreshed on a recurring schedule. Combined with Development mode (which keeps the cluster alive between runs to speed up iteration), the compute resources remain active and datasets are updated repeatedly at set intervals until the pipeline is manually stopped. This contrasts with Triggered mode, where the pipeline runs once and the cluster terminates.
