It lets you write the success condition in Starlark. Requirements Go 1.19 POSIX Make for testing Installation Install Go, then run the following command: go install github.com/dbohdan/recur@latest

Reducing the cost of a single Google Cloud Dataflow Pipeline by Over 60%

reducing-the-cost-of-a-single-google-cloud-dataflow-pipeline-by-over-60%

In this article we’ll present methods for efficiently optimizing physical resources and fine-tuning the configuration of a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Dataflow pipeline in order to achieve cost reductions. Optimization will be presented as a real-life scenario, which will be performed in stages. Before we start, it’s time to introduce several avenues through which the […]
