Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information & Dataflow Optimization
What is Sedai's Google Cloud Dataflow Optimization and how does it work?
Sedai's Google Cloud Dataflow Optimization analyzes historical job performance data for your Dataflow streaming jobs and recommends the most cost-effective instance types and worker counts. The platform continuously collects CPU, memory, and worker utilization data in the background, so you don't need to manually monitor or guess at the right configuration. Recommendations are delivered with projected savings reports, allowing you to review the impact before making any changes. Note: Sedai's Dataflow optimization currently provides recommendations and savings reports; automatic application of changes may require manual approval or integration. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
How does Sedai determine the right instance type and worker count for my Dataflow jobs?
Sedai analyzes historical CPU, memory, and worker utilization data for each Dataflow job. By continuously monitoring actual job behavior, Sedai identifies patterns and recommends instance types and worker counts that match real demand, helping you avoid over-provisioning and unnecessary costs. Note: Recommendations are based on observed usage and may require review before implementation. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
Does Sedai automatically apply recommended changes to my Dataflow jobs?
Sedai provides actionable recommendations and projected savings reports for your Dataflow jobs. You can review these recommendations before deciding to implement any changes. Automatic application of changes may require additional configuration or integration. Note: Sedai prioritizes safety and validation; all optimizations are designed to avoid service disruptions. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
How often does Sedai analyze my Dataflow jobs?
Sedai runs scheduled background analysis across eligible Dataflow jobs, continuously collecting and evaluating CPU, memory, and worker utilization data. This ongoing analysis ensures that recommendations are always based on the latest job behavior, not just a one-time snapshot. Note: The exact frequency of analysis may depend on your configuration and job activity. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What data does Sedai use to generate recommendations for Dataflow optimization?
Sedai uses historical CPU, memory, and worker utilization metrics collected from your Dataflow jobs. This data-driven approach enables Sedai to recommend instance types and worker counts that fit actual demand, rather than relying on static rules or assumptions. Note: Data collection requires appropriate access to job metrics. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What do I get from a Sedai Dataflow recommendation report?
Each recommendation report includes the suggested instance type and worker count for your Dataflow job, along with projected cost savings based on your historical usage. This allows you to review the potential impact and make informed decisions before applying any changes. Note: Actual savings may vary depending on job behavior and implementation. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
Features & Capabilities
