Cost-effective GenAI workflows in Google Dataflow
🔍 This article demonstrates a hybrid streaming pattern that pairs lightweight, CPU-based inference with downstream generative AI agents using Google Dataflow and the Agent Development Kit (ADK). It outlines an Apache Beam pipeline that filters routine events locally and routes only complex cases to a Gemini-backed agent for multi-step remediation, reducing API costs, latency, and quota exhaustion. The approach preserves a static DAG while enabling dynamic runtime branching for targeted automation.
