Understanding Big Data Streaming and Apache Flink

Apache Flink is another recent player in the Big Data space. Flink integrates batch and stream processing in a novel way. Join us in exploring Apache Flink and its architecture, internals, and its data and programming models. We explore its features for stream processing and compare it to Apache Spark and Apache Beam. You will learn about streaming and why do we need it and you will experience it through Flink’s streaming APIs in a running application.
