At Unity, real-time data operates at a large scale. To support this, the team created Flair, a SQL-first data platform that runs Apache Flink® in production and processes over one trillion events each day.
In this session, you’ll get an inside look at how Unity made Flink easier to adopt across the company. They built a shared streaming platform, standardized data pipelines, and combined streaming and batch processing using Apache Paimon as their lakehouse storage layer.
What you’ll learn:
- How Unity runs Apache Flink® at trillion-event scale
- How a SQL-first platform accelerates Flink adoption
- How Apache Paimon unifies streaming and batch workloads
- Lessons learned from operating Flink in production
