Apache Flink Reviews

I use the solution for detection of streaming data.

I am using the Python API and I have found the solution to be underdeveloped compared to others. There needs to be better integration with notebooks to allow for more practical development. Additionally, there are no managed services. For example, on Azure, you would have to set everything up yourself.

In a future release, they could improve on making the error descriptions more clear.

I have been using the solution for two weeks.

I have used many different competing solutions in the past such as Pyspark, Hadoop and Storm.

The setup was not too difficult. 

To deploy the solution locally it was relatively easy.

The solution is open-source, which is free.

When choosing this solution you have to look at your use case to see if this is the best choice for you. If you need to have super-fast realtime streaming, and you can develop in Scala, then it might make a lot of sense to use it. If you are looking at delays of seconds, and you are working on Python, then Pyspark might be a better solution.

I rate Apache Flink a six out of ten.

We utilize IoT devices to gather data for our clients. This data is analyzed to produce reports and insights, and we leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence models.

The product helps us to create both simple and complex data processing tasks. Over time, it has facilitated integration and navigation across multiple data sources tailored to each client's needs. We use Apache Flink to control our clients' installations. 

Apache Flink should improve its data capability and data migration. 

I have been using the product for five years. 

The solution is stable. 

Apache Flink is scalable. 

The product's deployment can be completed in minutes, and we have a special team. It is straightforward. We initiate our requirements within our secure software and utilize Jenkins and our pipelines to carry out the deployment process, whether for expanding services on the cloud or on-premise servers.

Apache Flink can be deployed in-house. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten.
