Data flow node validation and provisioning techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a system is described that supports visual design and deployment of data flow pipelines to process streaming data flows. The system may be configured to include nodes and connections between the nodes to represent an arbitrary execution graph of data science algorithms (as algorithm action components) that are used to process the streaming data flows. The system may also support validation techniques to verify that the data flow pipeline may operate as intended. Further, the system may also support implementation and provisioning techniques that involve estimation and adjustment of runtime resource provisioning of a deployed data flow pipeline without preemption or starvation occurring for nodes within the pipeline.
