Apache Flink® is an open-source stream processing framework for distributed and accurate data streaming applications. An increasing number of IoT use cases will (and some already do) require robust processing frameworks that can handle an ever-increasing amount of data and provide insights in real time. Apache Flink is one of the contenders for the top spot among such frameworks and in this presentation Aljoscha Krettek will highlight some of the properties that make Flink so well suited for IoT use cases: We will first learn what stream processing frameworks in general provide before diving into stateful stream processing and event-time based stream-processing. We will see why these two features are important for IoT scenarios and also why they, together with Flink’s robust handling of failures, enable accurate and robust analytics on real-time streaming data.
