Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

Beginning with foundations, this course explains how Apache Beam and Dataflow work together to meet your data processing needs without the risk of vendor lock-in.

The section on developing pipelines will show you how you convert your business logic into data processing applications that can run on Dataflow. The training session culminates with a focus on operations, which reviews the most important lessons for operating a data application on Dataflow, including monitoring, troubleshooting, testing, and reliability.
