# Key Concepts

## Chains
|
|
A chain is made up of links, which can be either primitives or other chains.
|
|
They vary greatly in complexity and are combination of generic, highly configurable pipelines and more narrow (but usually more complex) pipelines.
|
|
|
|
## Sequential Chain
|
|
This is a specific type of chain where multiple other chains are run in sequence, with the outputs being added as inputs
|
|
to the next. A subtype of this type of chain is the [`SimpleSequentialChain`](./generic/sequential_chains.html#simplesequentialchain), where all subchains have only one input and one output,
|
|
and the output of one is therefore used as sole input to the next chain.
