Talk:

Making Sense of Apache Flink: A Fearless Introduction

Abstract:

Today's consumers have come to expect timely and accurate information from the companies they do business with. Whether it's being alerted that someone just used your credit card to rent a car in Prague, or checking on the balance of your mobile data plan, it's not good enough to learn about yesterday's information today.Apache Flink is a battle-hardened stream processor widely used for demanding applications like these. Its performance and robustness are the result of a handful of core design principles: a shared-nothing architecture with local state, event-time processing, and state snapshots (for recovery). Flink is sometimes described as being complex and difficult to learn, but it's actually rather simple, and this talk will supply the background you need to approach Flink with confidence.

Speaker Bio:

David is an Apache Flink committer and trainer who has helped dozens of companies learn how to work with Flink. Before discovering Flink in 2016, he worked as a data engineer, designing and building data pipelines for companies across Europe.
