Next Steps in Stateful Streaming with Apache Flink
Come learn how Apache Flink is making stateful stream processing even more expressive and flexible to support applications in streaming that were previously not considered streamable. Over the last years, data stream processing has redefined how many of us build data pipelines. Apache Flink is...

Lessons From a ~Yearly Re-Write of a Data Pipeline
Every year, we’ve set ourselves a goal of dramatically improving the performance and efficiency of our core data pipelines. We’ve done this by re-writing, effectively from scratch, the streaming pipelines that are responsible for processing over 120,000 events per second to deliver realtime...

Streaming Reactive Systems & Data Pipes w. squbs
Reactive libraries are nothing new to the JVM. Reactive Streams as an SPI has even made its way into Java 9. However, their uses within microservice components are still for relatively narrow purposes like service orchestration. But we think differently. Our whole presence and universe can be...
