Course Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and its services.
  • Familiarity with big data processing concepts and Apache Beam (helpful, but not required).
  • Experience with Python or Java, as Google Cloud Dataflow pipelines are typically written in these languages.
  • Basic knowledge of cloud storage and data pipelines.
  • Some experience with cloud monitoring and logging is beneficial for optimizing and troubleshooting Dataflow jobs.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the Serverless Data Processing with Dataflow: Operations course, you will be able to:

  1. Understand the core concepts of Google Cloud Dataflow and how it leverages Apache Beam for both batch and streaming data processing.
  2. Design and implement serverless data pipelines using Google Cloud Dataflow for various data processing tasks.
  3. Operate and manage Dataflow jobs, including monitoring, logging, and troubleshooting issues using Google Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging.
  4. Optimize Dataflow pipelines for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency by tuning resource allocation and applying best practices.
  5. Use Dataflow’s autoscaling features to dynamically adjust pipeline resources based on workload requirements.
  6. Implement error handling and retry strategies within Dataflow pipelines to ensure robustness and fault tolerance.
  7. Leverage Google Cloud Storage and BigQuery for seamless integration with Dataflow and to store and analyze processed data.
  8. Integrate Dataflow with other Google Cloud services, such as Cloud Pub/Sub and Cloud Functions, to build end-to-end data processing solutions.
  9. Understand the Dataflow SDKs (Java, Python) and learn how to use them for custom transformations and complex data processing logic.
  10. Monitor Dataflow jobs in real-time, analyze job performance, and identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
  11. Prepare for Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer certification with skills and best practices needed for managing large-scale data processing operations in Google Cloud.
