Google-provided templates
Google providesopen sourceDataflow templates that you can use instead of writing pipeline code. This page lists the available templates. Container images for these templates are hosted atgcr.io/dataflow-templates.
Starting August 4, 2025, Google-managed template jobs run onDataflow Prime by default. To run your job on standard Dataflow, you must disable Dataflow Prime. To disable Dataflow Prime for Google-managed template jobs, set theenable_prime Dataflow service option tofalse (enable_prime=false) when you run the template. For more details, seeDisable Dataflow Prime.
- For general information about templates, see theOverview.
- To get started, run the sample templateWordCount.
