Course Outline:
Module 1: Introduction
- Introduce the course objectives.
- Demonstrate how Apache Beam and Dataflow work together to fulfill your organization’s data processing needs.
Module 2: Beam Portability
- Summarize the benefits of the Beam Portability Framework.
- Customize the data processing environment of your pipeline using custom containers.
- Review use cases for cross-language transformations.
- Enable the Portability framework for your Dataflow pipelines.
Module 3: Separating Compute and Storage with Dataflow
- Enable Shuffle and Streaming Engine, for batch and streaming pipelines respectively, for maximum performance.
- Enable Flexible Resource Scheduling for more cost-efficient performance.
Module 4: IAM, Quotas, and Permissions
- Select the right combination of IAM permissions for your Dataflow job.
- Determine your capacity needs by inspecting the relevant quotas for your Dataflow jobs.
Module 5: Security
- Select your zonal data processing strategy using Dataflow, depending on your data locality needs.
- Implement best practices for a secure data processing environment.
Module 6: Beam Concepts Review
- Review main Apache Beam concepts (Pipeline, PCollections, PTransforms, Runner, reading/writing, Utility PTransforms, side inputs), bundles and DoFn Lifecycle.
Module 7: Windows, Watermarks, Triggers
- Implement logic to handle your late data.
- Review different types of triggers.
- Review core streaming concepts (unbounded PCollections, windows).
Module 8: Sources and Sinks
- Write the I/O of your choice for your Dataflow pipeline.
- Tune your source/sink transformation for maximum performance.
- Create custom sources and sinks using SDF.
Module 9: Schemas
- Introduce schemas, which give developers a way to express structured data in their Beam pipelines.
- Use schemas to simplify your Beam code and improve the performance of your pipeline.
Module 10: State and Timers
- Identify use cases for state and timer API implementations.
- Select the right type of state and timers for your pipeline.
Module 11: Best Practices
- Implement best practices for Dataflow pipelines.
Module 12: Dataflow SQL and DataFrames
- Develop a Beam pipeline using SQL and DataFrames.
Module 13: Beam Notebooks
- Prototype your pipeline in Python using Beam notebooks.
- Launch a job to Dataflow from a notebook.
Module 14: Monitoring
- Navigate the Dataflow Job Details UI.
- Interpret Job Metrics charts to diagnose pipeline regressions.
- Set alerts on Dataflow jobs using Cloud Monitoring.
Module 15: Logging and Error Reporting
- Use the Dataflow logs and diagnostics widgets to troubleshoot pipeline issues.
Module 16: Troubleshooting and Debug
- Use a structured approach to debug your Dataflow pipelines.
- Examine common causes for pipeline failures.
Module 17: Performance
- Understand performance considerations for pipelines.
- Consider how the shape of your data can affect pipeline performance.
Module 18: Testing and CI/CD
- Testing approaches for your Dataflow pipeline.
- Review frameworks and features available to streamline your CI/CD workflow for Dataflow pipelines.
