-The **Checkpoint Manager** provides an efficient method to monitor and manage checkpoints during pipeline execution. It allows stages in a pipeline to save their progress to ensure the system can intelligently resume or recover operationsminimizing redundancy and optimizing runtime efficiency.+The **Checkpoint Manager** provides an efficient and reliable method to monitor, record, and manage checkpoints during pipeline execution. In complex workflows or data processing pipelines, it is critical to have mechanisms in place that track the state and progress of individual stages. The Checkpoint Manager facilitates this by allowing each stage to persist its progress in a structured, retrievable format. This enables the system to maintain continuity in executionparticularly in the event of interruptions such as hardware failures, software crashes, or network disruptions.

 +By integrating checkpointing into the pipeline architecture, developers can design fault-tolerant systems that intelligently resume operations from the last successfully completed stage rather than reprocessing the entire pipeline. This minimizes redundancy, reduces computational waste, and significantly optimizes runtime efficiency. Additionally, the Checkpoint Manager supports auditability and debugging, as it provides a clear history of execution flow and intermediate results. This makes it easier to trace anomalies, validate data consistency, and ensure overall pipeline reliability across distributed or long-running processes.
