2. Flink in Zalando's world of microservices

By Javier Lopez & Mihail Vieru, Zalando

In this talk we present Zalando's microservices architecture and introduce Saiki – our next generation data integration and distribution platform on AWS. We show why we chose Apache Flink to serve as our stream processing framework and describe how we employ it for our current use cases: business process monitoring and continuous ETL. We then have an outlook on future use cases.
