Stream Processing with Apache Flink

Stream Processing with Apache Flink Synopsis

Get started with Apache Flink, the open source framework that powers some of the worlds largest stream processing applications. With this practical book, youll explore the fundamental concepts of parallel stream processing and discover how this technology differs from traditional batch data processing.Longtime Apache Flink committers Fabian Hueske and Vasia Kalavri show you how to implement scalable streaming applications with Flinks DataStream API and continuously run and maintain these applications in operational environments. Stream processing is ideal for many use cases, including low-latency ETL, streaming analytics, and real-time dashboards as well as fraud detection, anomaly detection, and alerting. You can process continuous data of any kind, including user interactions, financial transactions, and IoT data, as soon as you generate them.Learn concepts and challenges of distributed stateful stream processingExplore Flinks system architecture, including its event-time processing mode and fault-tolerance modelUnderstand the fundamentals and building blocks of the DataStream API, including its time-based and statefuloperatorsRead data from and write data to external systems with exactly-once consistencyDeploy and configure Flink clustersOperate continuously running streaming applications
