    It is best in cases where you have batch as well as streaming data. Also in some cases where you have batch data right now and in future you will get streaming data. In those cases Dataflow is very good. Also in cases where most of your infra is on GCP. It might not be good when you already are on AWS or Azure. And also you want in-depth control over security and management. Then you can directly use Apache beam over Dataflow.

    Red Hat Decision Manager is well suited for developing a microservices-based application architecture where reusable components / APIs can be used across different end-user applications. It however may not be well suited for use cases where business users need low code / no-code environment to maintain business rules themselves without any developer / IT team support

    Cons
    Google
    • More templates for Bigquery and App Engine. There is only limited options for templates so the things we use can limit.
    • I would like native connectors for Excel (XLSX) to reduce the need for custom wrappers in financial pipelines.
    • Debugging Google Cloud Dataflow using only logs in Cloud Logging can be overwhelming sometimes, and it’s not always obvious which specific element in the flow caused a failure. IT uses a lot of time.

    Red Hat Decision Manager can be scaled and adapted to meet the automation needs of the organization as it grows by reusing the components and business rules data which provides a high ROI on the renewal costs.

    It really saved a lot of time and it's flexibility really can give you infra which is future-proof for most of the use cases may it be streaming or batch data. And with this you can avoid use of resource-heavy big data offerings.

    For high volume and / or complex set of legacy business rules, plan for adequate time for data migration activities.
