GCP Dataflow is a Unified stream and batch data processing that’s serverless, fast, and cost-effective. It is a fully managed data processing service and many other features which you can find on its website here. Apache Beam is an advanced unified programming model that implements batch and streaming data processing jobs that run on any execution engine. GCP dataflow is one of the runners that you can choose from when you run data processing pipelines.
In this post, we will see how we can get started with Apache Beam with a simple Java example project. We will start with a simple project and see how to integrate with Apache Beam and run it on Google Cloud Platform with GCP Dataflow Runner.
