Building Big Data Pipelines with Apache Beam

Apache Beam is a unified data processing model for both batching and streaming (real-
time) big data workloads. This book explains all the aspects of the technology – starting
from a theoretical description of the model through to explaining the basics and then
advanced concepts. Reading this book will teach you how to implement, test, and run
various real-life examples, but also understand what is hidden underneath a typical
Apache Beam runner and how the Apache Beam portability layer works, enabling the
decoupling of runners from various programming languages and their respective SDKs.
