Apache Flink® Meetup Zurich

Real-Time Data Transformation Without the Drama

​In this meetup, we’ll talk about how teams are actually adopting streaming in production — what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity along the way.

​Join fellow practitioners to hear real-world stories from Swisscom engineers who are building and running streaming platforms at scale using Apache Flink® and the modern streaming stack.

​No hype, no vendor pitches just honest lessons and practical insights from the field.

  • Platform Engineers building real-time infrastructure

  • Technical Leads evaluating stream processing solutions

  • Anyone optimizing Flink applications for performance and cost
