Apache Flink

Stream processing framework for data pipelines

About Apache Flink

Apache Flink is a stream processing framework built for data engineers who need to build stateful computations over unbounded and bounded streams. It provides exactly-once processing event time and savepoints, so teams can react to data in realtime with correct results approximate stream jobs that lose state. The workflow keeps setup practical for everyday use, with documentation and integrations that fit existing stacks rather than forcing a complete replacement of tools a team already relies on daily.
