# Dataflow

Sedai recommends optimizations for Dataflow resources to improve both cost and resource efficiency. Recommendations for Dataflow could include adjustments to any of the following:

* **CPU Allocation**: Sedai adjusts CPU allocation to ensure your data processing tasks run smoothly without unnecessary over-provisioning.
* **Memory Allocation**: Sedai adjusts memory allocation to match the specific requirements of your data processing workloads, minimizing both underutilization and overallocation
* **Initial Worker Count:** Sedai analyzes your workloads and sets the initial worker count to ensure your data processing tasks start efficiently and avoid resource wastage
* **Max Worker Count**: Sedai defines an appropriate maximum worker count to scale your resources as needed, ensuring that you never pay for more resources than required, especially during peak workloads
* **Machine Type**: Sedai determines the appropriate machine type based on recommended CPU and Memory configuration changes.
