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

Portable
Execute pipelines on multiple execution environments (runners), providing flexibility and avoiding lock-in.
Open Source
Open, community-based development and support to help evolve your application and meet the needs of your specific use cases.
