Dataflow pipelines simplify the mechanics of large-scale batch and streaming data processing and can run on a number of runtimes like Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow (a cloud service). Beam also brings DSL in different languages, allowing users to easily implement their data integration processes."><link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100,300,400,500,700" rel=stylesheet><link rel=preload href=/scss/main.min.408fddfe3e8a45f87a5a8c9a839d77db667c1c534e5e5cd0d957ffc3dd6c14cf.css as=style><link href=/scss/main.min.408fddfe3e8a45f87a5a8c9a839d77db667c1c534e5e5cd0d957ffc3dd6c14cf.css rel=stylesheet integrity><script src=https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js></script><style>.body__contained img{max-width:100%}</style><script type=text/javascript src=/js/bootstrap.min.2979f9a6e32fc42c3e7406339ee9fe76b31d1b52059776a02b4a7fa6a4fd280a.js defer></script>
