 # Apache Beam Go SDK

 The Go SDK for Apache Beam provides a simple, powerful API for building both batch and streaming parallel data processing pipelines.
 It is based on the following [design](https://s.apache.org/beam-go-sdk-design-rfc).

 Unlike Java and Python, Go is a statically compiled language.
 This means worker binaries may need to be [cross-compiled](/documentation/sdks/go-cross-compilation/) to execute on distributed runners.

 ## Get Started with the Go SDK

 Get started with the [Beam Go SDK quickstart](/get-started/quickstart-go) to set up your development environment and run an example pipeline. Then, read through the [Beam programming guide](/documentation/programming-guide) to learn the basic concepts that apply to all SDKs in Beam.

 See the [godoc](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/pkg/beam) for more detailed information.

 ## Status

 Version 2.32.0 is the last experimental release of the Go SDK. The Go SDK supports most Batch oriented features, and cross language transforms.
 It's possible to write many kinds of transforms, but specific built in transforms may still be missing, or incomplete.

 Requests for specific transforms may be filed to the [`go` component in GitHub Issues](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Ago).
 Contributions are welcome.
