As a data engineer, you’re likely familiar with the challenges of error handling in Apache Beam Java applications. Traditional approaches can lead to verbose code, making it difficult to read and maintain. The Asgarde library offers a solution by providing a way to write less code and produce more concise and expressive code. What is Asgarde? Asgarde is an open-source library that simplifies error handling in Apache Beam Java applications. It accomplishes this by wrapping common error handling patterns into reusable components.

This is a great watch for those beginning their journey with Flink.

Apache Beam and Apache Flink are both distributed computing frameworks for processing large amounts of data in parallel, but they have some fundamental differences in their design and functionality. Apache Beam is a unified programming model for batch and streaming data processing, which provides a high-level API that allows developers to write data processing pipelines that can run on various execution engines, including Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow.
