It supports manual provision to clusters |
It supports automatic provision to clusters |
It helps to prepare and clean the data for future use. |
It supports major Hadoop distributions (MapR, Hortonworks) and Cloud (AWS, GCP, AZURE) to build pipeline. |
If systems are Hadoop dependent then good to use Dataproc. It is created as an extension service for Hadoop. Real-time data collection with Hadoop and Spark integration feature is more prominent in it. |
It is based on Apache Beam, used for data lake data collection, cleaning and workload processing in parallel manner. It mainly merges programming & execution models. |
It is only seen as a data processing tool helps in Visual analytics and processing data as a plus-point. Mainly used with Big table and Big query. If you are only looking to find any anomalies or redundancy in the data, then can use it. |
It is based on CDAP, an open-source pipeline development tool. It offers visualization tool to build ETL/ELT pipelines. |
If one prefers a hands-on Dev-ops approach, then choose Dataproc |
if you prefer a serverless approach, then select Dataflow. Fully Managed and No Ops approach |
On the other hand, it is UI-driven, Fully Managed and follows No-Ops approach. |
In GCP it uses cloud dataproc cluster to perform jobs and comes up with multiple prebuilt connectors from to connect source to sink. |
Simple easy to use |
Relatively difficult to use |
Easy to use |
Very easy to use |
Used for Data Science and ML Eco System |
Used for Batch and Streaming Data processing |
Used for UI driver data processing where as multiple source data integrations. |
It gives you codeless pipeline development and enterprise readiness gives data lineage, metadata management much easier |
Tips and good resources for all.. Oracle, Big data, Hadoop, Unix, Linux
