A plethora of data processing tools, most of them open source, is available to us. But who actually runs data pipelines? What about dynamically allocating resources to data pipeline components? In this talk we will discuss options to operate elastic data pipelines with modern, cloud native platforms such as DC/OS with Apache Mesos, Kubernetes and Docker Swarm. We will review good practices, from containerizing workloads to making things resilient and show elastic data pipelines in action.
