The samples on this page show you common Beam side input patterns. A side
input is an additional input that your `DoFn` can access each time it processes
an element in the input `PCollection`. For more information, see the
[programming guide section on side
inputs](/documentation/programming-guide/#side-inputs).
+If you are trying to enrich your data by doing a key-value lookup to a remote
service, you may first want to consider the [Enrichment
transform](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/transforms/python/elementwise/enrichment/)
which can abstract away some of the details of side inputs and provide
additional benefits like client-side throttling.
