Have questions about stream processing, stateful architecture, or the future of Apache Flink®? Join an interactive panel of core Flink Committers for an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session.

Learn how to use a native framework for building long-running, event-driven AI agents directly within Flink’s runtime where agents can observe, reason, and act using live data. This project is grounded in a simple worldview: Agents are software, not prompts. To succeed, they must behave like real services; autonomous, reactive, and resilient. We’ve built Flink Agents around four key pillars: 1) Event-native by design 2) context is everything 3) replay is a superpower 4) every engineer is an AI engineer. Join us for a deep dive, see the architecture, roadmap, and live demo on how to manage a real-time workflow with streaming inputs and autonomous decisions.

Since its inception, Apache Flink has consistently been at the forefront of innovation in real-time computing technology. As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Flink becoming an Apache top-level project, we are excited to announce the upcoming release of version 2.0—its first major update since the debut of Flink 1.0 in 2016.

Apache Flink is a generic distributed stream processing framework. It powers many different industry use cases and provides real-time insights for making quick business decisions.

Apache Flink 2.0, the first major version update and the most significant evolution since the initial launch of Flink 1.0 in 2016, a vision that the Flink community has collaboratively endeavored over the past year and more, is slated for launch by the end of this year.

The Apache Flink community has been preparing for the 2.0 version of Flink in the recent couple of months. This is going to be the first major version bump ever since the release of Flink 1.0 in 2016.

The vision of Flink as a Streaming Warehouse was presented in Flink Forward Asia 2021. As part of the story, we are enhancing Flink’s capability of serving as an OLAP querying engine.
