Dataflow is a managed service for executing a wide variety of data
processing patterns. The documentation on this site shows you how to deploy
your batch and streaming data processing pipelines using
Dataflow, including directions for using service features.
The Apache Beam SDK
is an open source programming model that enables you to develop both batch
and streaming pipelines. You create your pipelines with an Apache Beam
program and then run them on the Dataflow service. The
Apache Beam
documentation provides in-depth conceptual information and reference
material for the Apache Beam programming model, SDKs, and other runners.
To learn basic Apache Beam concepts, see the
Tour of Beam and Beam Playground.
The
Dataflow Cookbook repository also provides ready-to-launch and self-contained pipelines
and the most common Dataflow use cases.
