6. Apache Beam is a
truly unified batch
and streaming data
processing
platform, with no
compromises.
Batch is batch, and
streaming is
streaming.
Beam has official
Java, Python, and
Golang SDKs with
an independent
Scala SDK available
as well.
I/Os are included in
Beam, meaning that
discoverability of
new I/Os is super
easy - just upgrade
to the latest and
see what you get.
(This is why we’re
here today!)
Run Beam pipelines
on your existing
Spark clusters,
Google Cloud
Dataflow, AWS KDA,
Talend, self-hosted
Flink, or the newest
experimental
runners. Use the
DirectRunner for
local testing and
development.
Truly Unified SDKs Included I/Os Portability
What Makes Apache Beam Different?

8. Beam and Pulsar = 🤝
Beam is unique in that I/O connectors are
included in the project and are not
external. As a result, the Beam community
and those of us at Google with Beam
responsibilities are always looking for
better I/O support.
Seeing the traction of Pulsar in the market,
Google decided to kickstart a PulsarIO by
engaging with a third-party vendor to
create a new PulsarIO Beam connector.

10. PulsarIO is now a part of Beam and you can
use it now!
Please give it a whirl - try PulsarIO on your
own dev machine with the Beam
DirectRunner. Or try running Beam pipelines
on your existing Spark or Flink clusters, or on
the Google Cloud Dataflow managed service.

12. StreamNative will ensure that the Apache Beam PulsarIO
will be a certified StreamNative Cloud Compute Engine
Connector!
