Abstract

Claims (63)

1. A method implemented by a streaming data processing system, the method comprising:

identifying, from a pool of pre-configured resources shared by a plurality of users and pre-configured to support preview jobs requested by the plurality of users, a pre-configured resource, wherein each pre-configured resource of the pool of pre-configured resources comprises a first distributed streaming data processing engine configured to process data obtained from a data stream;

obtaining a first request for a first deployment of a data processing pipeline, the data processing pipeline specifying a series of nodes and interconnections between individual nodes within the series, wherein the first deployment corresponds to a preview deployment type, wherein the nodes designate a transformation of data items within the data processing pipeline, and wherein the interconnections designate a routing of messages through the data processing pipeline;

implementing the first deployment using the pre-configured resource based on the first deployment corresponding to the preview deployment type;

obtaining a second request for a second deployment of the data processing pipeline, wherein the second deployment corresponds to a full deployment type; and

implementing the second deployment using a dedicated resource from a pool of dedicated resources configured to be assigned to a particular user of the plurality of users based on the second deployment corresponding to the full deployment type, wherein each dedicated resource of the pool of dedicated resources comprises a second distributed streaming data processing engine configured to process data obtained from a data stream,

wherein implementing the second deployment comprises:

provisioning the dedicated resource for the second deployment, and

deploying the data processing pipeline using the dedicated resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-configured resource is configured for use by the plurality of users.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-configured resource is isolated from the dedicated resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein implementing the second deployment further comprises dynamically assigning the dedicated resource to the data processing pipeline.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data processing pipeline comprises a first data processing pipeline, wherein the dedicated resource comprises a first dedicated resource, the method further comprising:

obtaining a third request for a third deployment of a second data processing pipeline; and

implementing the third deployment using a second dedicated resource from the pool of dedicated resources based on the third deployment corresponding to the full deployment type, wherein implementing the third deployment comprises:

provisioning the second dedicated resource for the third deployment, and

deploying the second data processing pipeline using the second dedicated resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data processing pipeline comprises a first data processing pipeline, the method further comprising:

obtaining a third request for a third deployment of a second data processing pipeline; and

implementing the third deployment using the pre-configured resource based on the third deployment corresponding to the preview deployment type.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising launching the pre-configured resource.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing a graphical interface to receive user input to program operation of the data processing pipeline, wherein implementing the first deployment comprises activating a preview mode that adds a function to the data processing pipeline that prevents sending transformed data to a downstream system, wherein the preview mode causes the data processing pipeline with the function added to retrieve a message from an upstream system, process the message, and cause output of an update to the graphical interface.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting the dedicated resource from the pool of dedicated resources.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein implementing the first deployment is associated with a first latency and implementing the second deployment is associated with a second latency, wherein the second latency is greater than the first latency.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the data processing pipeline as deployed based on the second deployment has been deactivated; and

releasing the dedicated resource.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data processing pipeline comprises a first data processing pipeline, the method further comprising:

determining that the first data processing pipeline as deployed based on the second deployment has been deactivated;

releasing the dedicated resource;

obtaining a third request for a third deployment of a second data processing pipeline; and

implementing the third deployment using the dedicated resource based on the third deployment corresponding to the full deployment type, wherein implementing third deployment comprises:

provisioning the dedicated resource for the third deployment, and

deploying the second data processing pipeline using the dedicated resource.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining feedback based on implementing the first deployment, wherein implementing the second deployment is based at least in part on the feedback.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-configured resource corresponds to a first virtual machine and a first set of computing cores, and wherein the dedicated resource corresponds to a second virtual machine and a second set of computing cores.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-configured resource corresponds to a first virtual machine and a first set of computing cores, the method further comprising:

provisioning the first set of computing cores;

determining the first deployment requires additional computing cores, and

provisioning the additional computing cores based at least in part on determining the first deployment requires the additional computing cores.

16. Non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system of a data ingestion system, cause the computing system to:

identify, from a pool of pre-configured resources shared by a plurality of users and pre-configured to support preview jobs requested by the plurality of users, a pre-configured resource, wherein each pre-configured resource of the pool of pre-configured resources comprises a first distributed streaming data processing engine configured to process data obtained from a data stream;

obtain a first request for a first deployment of a data processing pipeline, the data processing pipeline specifying a series of nodes and interconnections between individual nodes within the series, wherein the first deployment corresponds to a preview deployment type, wherein the nodes designate a transformation of data items within the data processing pipeline, and wherein the interconnections designate a routing of messages through the data processing pipeline;

implement the first deployment using the pre-configured resource based on the first deployment corresponding to the preview deployment type;

obtain a second request for a second deployment of the data processing pipeline, wherein the second deployment corresponds to a full deployment type; and

implement the second deployment using a dedicated resource from a pool of dedicated resources configured to be assigned to a particular user of the plurality of users based on the second deployment corresponding to the full deployment type, wherein each dedicated resource of the pool of dedicated resources comprises a second distributed streaming data processing engine configured to process data obtained from a data stream,

wherein to implement the second deployment, execution of the computer-executable instructions by the computing system, causes the computing system to:

provision the dedicated resource for the second deployment, and

deploy the data processing pipeline using the dedicated resource.

17. The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 16 , wherein the pre-configured resource is configured for use by a plurality of tenants.

18. A computing system of a data ingestion system, the computing system comprising:

a data store including computer-executable instructions; and
