Use of LLMs and agents is steadily growing in prominence and importance across the data processing ecosystem and more broadly across all of software. Today, though, many agentic prototypes fail to reach production for familiar reasons, including: overly complex resource management, the inability...

Beam has become a core part of the data processing ecosystem through a combination of innovation and hard work from the Beam community. As the data landscape continues to evolve, however, so too must Beam. During this talk, Kenn (Beam PMC chair) and Danny (Beam PMC) will explore some of the...

Contribute to the Apache Beam community! This presentation guides developers—from beginners to experts—through a structured path to meaningful community engagement. We’ll cover essential resources, real-world contribution examples, and diverse collaboration opportunities, offering actionable...

Serving ML models at scale is increasingly important, and Beam’s RunInference transform is a great tool to do this. At the same time, models are getting larger and larger, and it can be hard to fit them into your CPU or GPU and to serve them efficiently. In particular, serving large language...

Apache Beam is an open source tool for building distributed scalable data pipelines. This talk will explore how Beam can be used to perform common machine learning tasks, with a heavy focus on running inference at scale. The talk will include a demo component showing how Beam can be used to deploy a

Over the past year, the Beam Go Sdk has rolled out several features to support native streaming DoFns. This talk will dig into those features and discuss how they can be used to build streaming pipelines written entirely in Go. Attendees will come away with an understanding of some of the...
