Sessions
As the volume of real-time data continues to surge, businesses are under increasing pressure to process this data with speed and accuracy. Apache Flink emerges as a powerful solution, excelling in the realm of real-time stream processing by providing low-latency data handling and advanced capabilities for managing out-of-order events. This talk is designed for intermediate Python developers who want to explore how Flink's unique features—like its sophisticated time and windowing mechanisms—enable it to deliver exactly-once semantics, ensuring reliability even in the most demanding scenarios.
We’ll also compare Flink with Kafka, illustrating where Flink outperforms in complex event processing and dynamic windowing tasks. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how Flink is being used to detect fraud in financial services, optimize ride-sharing routes, and more, all while maintaining high throughput and low latency. Additionally, the talk will cover how Flink can simplify and accelerate ETL pipelines, making it an indispensable tool for modern data-driven applications.
