# YAML Development in Apache Beam

Describe a Beam pipeline in YAML instead of code

## What this does

Beam has a YAML flavour where you describe a pipeline in configuration rather than writing SDK code. This covers getting set up for it, testing, and the ideas you need to know first. Reach for it when you are working on the Beam YAML side of the Python tree.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up an environment for Beam YAML
- Run the tests
- Get the key concepts straight before writing config
