About the Conference

About Flink Forward

Flink Forward Global kicks off with two days of training on October 19 & 20. Our training sessions will be led virtually by members of the Ververica team. A higher quality training session is hard to find! You’ll take part in a hands-on learning session led by true experts. The training days are followed by two days of virtual conference, with keynotes and talks on production Flink use cases, to Apache Flink® internals, to the growth of the Flink ecosystem, and many more topics on stream processing and real-time analytics.

About Apache Flink®

Apache Flink® is an open source stream processing platform for real-time analytics and real-time applications. It provides efficient, fast, accurate, and fault tolerant handling of massive streams of events. Apache Flink® also supports batch processing as a special case of stream processing.

Ververica engineers wrote the first lines of code of what would later become Apache Flink®. As members of the open source community, the team at Ververica is 100% dedicated to our work in further developing Apache Flink®, so it continues to be the most powerful and modern stream processor available.

If you’re new to stream processing and would like to learn more, check out “What is stream processing?” on the Ververica site.

About Ververica

Ververica is the new name of data Artisans, the company founded in 2014 by the original creators of Apache Flink®. Ververica is headquartered in Berlin, Germany.

We started data Artisans (now Ververica) because we saw the need for a large-scale data processing technology that is open source and at the same time properly rooted in long-tested principles and architectures from the database and distributed systems fields.

From the very beginning, we developed Apache Flink® in the open source, and we witnessed and led Flink’s rapid community growth and industry adoption.

Ververica provides Ververica Platform, with open source Apache Flink and Application Manager, to the enterprise. Ververica Platform enables high-throughput and low-latency solutions for event-driven applications.
