Paper abstract: Most of the space projects or large observatories do have official tools likesimulators, end-to-end pipelines developed during years by a large team ofcontributors. They are like {\em cathedrals}. In this paper, we show that verysimplistic code using basic operators provided by high level language like GDLallows to write quickly high quality code to process raw data intoscientifically validated outputs. This is {\em bazaar}. In this paper we argument why we consider large infrastructure should bedesigned to allow small ones to benefit from it and allow to graft betteralternative processing at very low cost.
