Benefits

Benefits of Aiven’s managed service for Apache Flink®

Flink is part of a new class of systems that see data as event streams, which makes it possible to process those events scalably and in real time. It’s helping organizations transition away from batch processing towards powerful stream processing.

Aiven’s managed Apache Flink service is a perfect companion to Aiven for Apache Kafka. You'll be able to perform filtering, enriching, aggregation, alerting and analysis of events in real time.
