Google Cloud Dataflow is a managed service for running Apache Beam pipelines at scale. Engineers define data transformations once (Python/Java), Dataflow executes them on GCP infrastructure (auto-scaling, fault tolerance). Beam is powerful: handles batch and streaming, windowing, state management. Senior practitioners earn 15-20% premium because they ship pipelines processing petabytes. Learning: 8-10 weeks (requires understanding of distributed computing, streaming, and GCP).

מהי Dataflow ETL Pipeline

Google Cloud Dataflow is Google's managed service for running Apache Beam pipelines at scale. Beam is a unified framework for batch and streaming data processing. Engineers write Python (or Java/Go) transformations once; Beam/Dataflow executes them on distributed infrastructure with auto-scaling, fault tolerance, and monitoring. Example: Events stream from Pub/Sub → Filter invalid events → Enrich with user data → Aggregate per minute (window) → Write to BigQuery. Dataflow scales from 1 event/sec to 1M events/sec automatically.

❓ שאלות נפוצות

What's the difference between Beam batch and streaming?

Batch processes bounded data (file, fixed dataset). Streaming processes unbounded data (continuous stream). Beam code is almost identical; runner differs (DirectRunner for dev, Dataflow for prod).

Should I use Dataflow or Dataproc (Spark)?

Dataflow for continuous pipelines, streaming. Dataproc for batch, interactive. Dataflow auto-scales, more serverless. Dataproc more familiar if you know Spark.

What's a window in Beam?

A way to group streaming data into chunks. Fixed window (5-min buckets), sliding window (1-min window every 30s), session window (group until gap). Enables aggregations on infinite streams.

How do I handle state in Beam?

Beam has stateful processing (remember past events). Example: count unique users per minute (state = set of users seen). Use StatefulParDo for complex state.

Can I run Beam locally?

Yes, with DirectRunner (single-threaded, for dev). Good for testing. Production runs on Dataflow (distributed, auto-scaling).
