What is BigFlow?

BigFlow is a Python framework for data processing pipelines on GCP.

The main features are:

• Dockerized deployment environment
• Powerful CLI
• Automated build, deployment, versioning and configuration
• Unified project structure
• Support for the major data processing technologies — Dataproc (Apache Spark), Dataflow (Apache Beam) and BigQuery
• Project starter

Getting started

Start from installing BigFlow on your local machine. Next, go through the BigFlow tutorial.

Installing BigFlow

Prerequisites. Before you start, make sure you have the following software installed:

1. Python == 3.7
2. Google Cloud SDK
3. Docker Engine

You can install the bigflow package globally but we recommend to install it locally with venv, in your project's folder:

python -m venv .bigflow_env
source .bigflow_env/bin/activate

Install the bigflow PIP package:

pip install bigflow[bigquery,dataflow,dataproc,log]

Test it:

bigflow -h
