Apache Beam is an open source unified programming model to define and execute data processing pipelines, including ETL, batch and stream (continuous) processing.[2] Beam Pipelines are defined using one of the provided SDKs and executed in one of the Beam’s supported runners (distributed processing back-ends) including Apache Flink, Apache Samza, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow.[3]

History
editApache Beam[3] is one implementation of the Dataflow model paper.[4] The Dataflow model is based on previous work on distributed processing abstractions at Google, in particular on FlumeJava[5] and Millwheel.[6][7]
Google released an open SDK implementation of the Dataflow model in 2014 and an environment to execute Dataflows locally (non-distributed) as well as in the Google Cloud Platform service.
Timeline
editApache Beam makes minor releases every 6 weeks.[8]
