Hands on Apache Flink workshop!

In this workshop, we will go over a hands on tutorial highlighting building a Flink stream processor.

The workshop will show you how to

1. Set up a stream consisting of Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus tracker data

2. Use different types of windowing techniques to generate metrics on the CTA

3. Sink the metrics to a queryable data sink

4. Turn all of the above into a deployable job that can be scaled up.

You will see all of Flink's major components in action: streams, sinks, windows, triggers, watermarks, etc.

A preconfigured virtual machine the workshop materials will be available for download prior to the meetup.

Pizza and Soda will be provided!
