Introducing Apache Beam

The Unified Apache Beam Model

The easiest way to do batch and streaming data processing. Write once, run anywhere data processing for mission-critical production workloads.

How Does It Work?

Data Sourcing

Beam reads your data from a diverse set of supported sources, no matter if it’s on-prem or in the cloud.

Data Processing

Beam executes your business logic for both batch and streaming use cases.

Data Writing

Beam writes the results of your data processing logic to the most popular data sinks in the industry.

Apache Beam Features

A simplified, single programming model for both batch and streaming use cases for every member of your data and application teams.

Apache Beam is extensible, with projects such as TensorFlow Extended and Apache Hop built on top of Apache Beam.

Execute pipelines on multiple execution environments (runners), providing flexibility and avoiding lock-in.

Open, community-based development and support to help evolve your application and meet the needs of your specific use cases.

Create Multi-language Pipelines

Try Beam Playground

Beam Playground is an interactive environment to try out Beam transforms and examples without having to install Apache Beam in your environment. You can try the Apache Beam examples at Beam Playground.
