Unified programming model for data processing pipelines
Apache Beam is an open source unified programming model to define and execute data processing pipelines , including ETL , batch and stream (continuous) processing.[ 2] SDKs and executed in one of the Beam’s supported runners (distributed processing back-ends) including Apache Flink , Apache Samza , Apache Spark , and Google Cloud Dataflow .[ 3]
History
Apache Beam[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Google released an open SDK implementation of the Dataflow model in 2014 and an environment to execute Dataflows locally (non-distributed) as well as in the Google Cloud Platform service.
Timeline
Apache Beam makes minor releases every 6 weeks.[ 8]
