All About Apache Flink

We're back! Join us on August 31st at Ippon Australia for an in-person Melbourne Distributed meetup all about Apache Flink.

Apache Flink is an open-source data processing framework that unifies stream processing and batch processing. Flink graduated to a top-level ASF project in 2015 and has since arguably become Apache's most popular streaming engine.

We're lucky to have two great talks and one great host.
