About Flink

Flink is an open source project under the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), which originated from the Stratosphere research project. The organization develops and provides a platform for processing data streams and batch data in real time. Flink offers various connectors, externalized to individual repositories on GitHub for easy access, such as those for AWS, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, HBase, JDBC, Kafka, MongoDB, OpenSearch, Prometheus, Pulsar, RabbitMQ, and more.

Users can build Flink from source by meeting prerequisites like a Unix-like environment, Git, Maven (version 3.8.6), and Java 8 or 11. The installation process involves cloning the repository, cleaning and packaging, and waiting for completion (up to 10 minutes). These steps result in Flink being installed in the build-target directory.

Flink's mission is to enable real-time data processing for various use cases by providing a versatile platform for data streams and batch data. Their externalized connectors broaden the scope of compatible technologies, allowing seamless integration with popular tools and services.
