Apache Beam is an advanced unified programming model that implements batch and streaming data processing jobs that run on any execution engine. At this time of writing, you can implement it in languages Java, Python, and Go. If you need to process large datasets or data stream processing Apache beam is the tool that can process with a unified, portable, and extensible programming model. You can get a lot of flexibility and advanced functionality that you need for data processing jobs. There are so many runners you can choose from, for example, If you want to run the whole thing on GCP you have Google Dataflow that you use as a runner.

In this post, we will see how we can get started with Apache Beam and Spring Boot. We will start with a simple Spring Boot application and see how to integrate with Apache Beam and run it on your local machine with Direct Runner.
