Data streaming is a key requirement for the modern data stack, enabling organizations to connect, process, and react to their data in real time. Apache Kafka® has become the foundational platform and industry-standard for data streaming. Created by the founders of Confluent, Kafka is now widely used and trusted by over 70% of the Fortune 500. Similarly, Apache Flink® has emerged as the de facto standard for stream processing, a critical component of the data streaming stack. Flink enables teams to effortlessly filter, join and enrich their data streams in-flight.
