  The Son-Of-XShooter (SOXS) is a single object spectrograph (UV-VIS & NIR) and
acquisition camera scheduled to be mounted on the ESO 3.58-m New Technology
Telescope at the La Silla Observatory. Although the underlying data reduction
processes to convert raw detector data to fully-reduced science ready data are
complex and multi-stepped, we have designed the SOXS Data Reduction pipeline
with the core aims of providing end-users with a simple-to-use, well-documented
command-line interface while also allowing the pipeline to be run in a fully
automated state; streaming reduced data into the ESO Science Archive Facility
without need for human intervention. To keep up with the stream of data coming
from the instrument, there is the requirement to optimise the software to
reduce each observation block of data well within the typical observation
exposure time. The pipeline is written in Python 3 and has been built with an
agile development philosophy that includes CI and adaptive planning.
