One common way to quantify pipeline performance is to measure its throughput per vCPU core in elements per second (EPS). “You can't improve what you don't measure.” There are no performance or cost guarantees since results presented are specific to this demo use case. As an example, we’ll present sample test results from benchmarking one of the popular Google-provided Dataflow templates, Pub/Sub Subscription to BigQuery template, and how we identified its throughput and optimum worker size.

We’ll go over the testing methodology and how to use PKB to benchmark a Dataflow job. PKB is a mature toolset that has been around since 2015 with community effort from over 30 industry and academic participants such as Intel, ARM, Canonical, Cisco, Stanford, MIT and many more.
We’re excited to share that PerfKit Benchmarker (PKB) now supports testing Dataflow jobs! As an open-source benchmarking tool used to measure and compare cloud offerings, PKB takes care of provisioning (and cleaning up) resources in the cloud, selecting and executing benchmark tests, as well as collecting and publishing results for actionable reporting.
However, performance testing data pipelines is historically hard as it involves: 1) configuring non-trivial environments including sources & sinks, to 2) staging realistic datasets, to 3) setting up and running a variety of tests including batch and/or streaming, to 4) collecting relevant metrics, to 5) finally analyzing and reporting on all tests’ results. Only then can you optimize performance and cost. To answer all these questions, you need to performance test your pipeline with real data to measure things like throughput and expected number of workers. daily volume, event throughput and/or end-to-end latency? Will the pipeline meet your expected service-level objectives (SLOs) e.g. What is your pipeline’s total cost of ownership (TCO), and is there room to optimize performance/cost ratio? How many workers does it need to handle your peak load and is there sufficient capacity (e.g. So you developed your Dataflow job, and you’re now wondering how exactly will it perform in the wild, in particular: Uncover informal networks and potentially unseen relationships in your organization, allowing leaders to help build and leverage ‘connectivity’ for increased performance, productivity, learning and innovation.Calling all Dataflow developers, operators and users… Learn more Organizational Network Analysisįrom enabling to enhancing.
