Sometimes you need to use a bucket in Sitecore to handle several items. This really depends on the specifications or needs you have, but a general rule is to use buckets when you plan to have several products, media files, etc. In case you need more information about buckets, you can visit the Sitecore documentation about it.

The way we handle or interact with items in buckets is through code since we need to use Sitecore search, or your indexer provider like Lucene, SOLR, Coveo, etc.

The second part consists in registering a route in the RouteConfig file. This is recommended because it provides a cleaner URL to the end user as well as it is flexible to handle more routes.

Now, we are completed and have everything we need since The last part, routes, can now met the first step in the custom pipeline. Remember that all details of the pipeline is available to be downloaded here.
