Apache Beam is an open source unified programming model designed for working with data processing pipelines. In this meetup, participants were able to learn how to use Python to implement data processing pipelines, as opposed to Java which is often the only viable option. This is particularly helpful for organizations that have already invested in language ecosystems that is not JVM centric. Hosted by our senior Data Science consultant, Dr. Christos Hadjinikolis, discussions revolve around how the Flink runner translates the Beam model into the native DataStream (or DataSet) API, how the runner is changing to support portable pipelines, how Python user code execution is coordinated with gRPC based services and how a sample pipeline runs on Flink.
