Our Verdict
This 5.5-hour course on building Big Data pipelines with Apache Beam excels at providing an overview of its main features and real-world examples—making it a good starting point for newcomers to the framework. Despite some unanswered support questions, lackluster assistance, and occasional typos, most students will benefit from learning the fundamentals through hands-on exercises, even if they'll have to modify or install additional components in some code examples.\nWhile the course does not cover every detail of Apache Beam, it serves as an excellent guide for getting started with writing pipeline transformations and executing them using various Runners, such as Spark, Flink, or Google Cloud Dataflow. Additionally, architects looking to grasp basic concepts before diving into official documentation will find this course particularly useful.\nHowever, those expecting in-depth coverage and professional production insights may be mildly disappointed due to the limited scope of specific topics and relatively few advanced insights.
