Random data generator

Hi everyone,
has anyone worked on a random data generation pipeline?

For example, to have a set of snaps connected where you can choose how many columns you want and eventually the data types as well as number of rows of data to fill and you get some data to work on.

This could be useful when working on mappers, or conditional routings etc. to prototype some pipelines logic before to actually connecting the correct data source.

Thanks,

    So nobody would have an idea how to quickly generate data?

      I’ve not done this in a pipeline before.

      In the past, I’ve relied on third party sites, like mockaroo, and then read the data in.
