Real-time data streaming is a HOT topic, which comes as no surprise considering how stream processing helps companies create new business opportunities, strengthens their advantage over competitors, reduces operational overhead, and makes business operations more efficient and streamlined.
Data streaming allows businesses to continuously collect and analyze real-time data from various sources, allowing them to drive informed decisions with valuable insights powered by real-time capabilities. You certainly can’t talk long about stream processing without discussing Apache Flink®, the industry standard technology of choice.
Real-time is happening right now, and Flink Forward is *THE* conference supporting Apache Flink® and the stream processing community.
Ververica, the original creators of Apache Flink and the proud organizers of Flink Forward, are excited to invite you to join us in-person in Seattle, Washington at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Lake Washington from Monday, November 6th through Wednesday, November 8th, for two days of training and a full conference day.
With Flink Forward less than a month away, I’m most excited about meeting with other data streaming enthusiasts, sharing the latest technological advancements in the field, checking out curious use cases, and participating in the Apache Flink training before the conference day itself.
Here are my top 5 reasons for attending Flink Forward in Seattle:
