Hey everyone,

I've put together a brief doc around migrating some GCP-related Beam Python
code off of the now-deprecated apitools library:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WxI6iw8gWLKd5LMYUPKmViZhURlZ5wn6w6zX21-xdLM/edit?usp=sharing

At the moment this dependency is load-bearing for GCP usage, mainly with
Dataflow and BigQuery. This wound up being a long-term blocker for Python
3.13 support in Beam, as a new apitools release had to be cut for the first
time in four years to support the language version. In the short term this
should be relatively stable as changes were made to apitools in order to
support Python 3.14 as well; however, for long-term maintainability we
should migrate our usage to more modern GCP libraries that are actively
maintained.

Thanks,

Jack McCluskey
