Apache Flink

Apache Flink is a free, self-hosted framework and distributed processing engine for stateful computations over unbounded and bounded data streams. It supports event-driven applications, stream and batch analytics, and data pipelines and ETL. Listed correctness features include exactly-once state consistency, event-time processing and late-data handling. APIs include SQL for stream and batch data, DataStream and ProcessFunction for time and state. Operational capabilities cover flexible deployment, high availability, savepoints, scale-out architecture, very large state and incremental checkpoints. The project lists low latency, high throughput and in-memory computing. Flink runs in common cluster environments; for Kubernetes, the Kubernetes Operator is identified as the standard deployment mechanism. Connectors include AWS, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Google Cloud PubSub, HBase, Hive, JDBC, Kafka, MongoDB, OpenSearch, Prometheus, Pulsar and RabbitMQ. Security requires configuration because SSL/TLS, REST authentication and SQL Gateway authentication are disabled by default. It is available at free under Apache License v2.
