title: “Prism Runner Roadmap”

Apache Beam Prism Runner Roadmap

The goal for the Prism runner is to provide a good default onboarding experience for Apache Beam.

• Prism should be able to execute any Beam pipeline that can execute on a local machine.
• Prism should be fast to start and execute pipelines.
• Prism should be able to assist with the local testing and debugging of pipelines.
• Prism may develop into a robust, production ready runner for pipelines that can execute locally.

The detailed roadmap lives in an umbrella tracking issue in Github.

Here are available resources:

• Runner documentation
• Issues: prism
• CLI Code, CLI Binaries are available as assets on [Github Releases](https://github.com/apache/beam/releases/tag/v{{< param release_latest >}}).
• Core Code
• Prism Internals Deep Dive
