Apache Flink is a high-performance stream processor that handles millions of events per second with low latency and exactly-once semantics. Unlike Spark Streaming (micro-batches), Flink is true stream processing. Advanced practitioners design event-time windowing, complex state management, and rescalable operators. Demand is strong in fintech, advertising, and real-time analytics. Senior Flink engineers earn $140k-200k+ in the US.

Apache Flink Streaming maali?

Apache Flink is a stream processing framework that continuously processes unbounded data streams with millisecond latency. Unlike Spark Streaming (which processes data in micro-batches), Flink is a true stream processor with a single code path for batch and streaming. Flink's strengths: event-time semantics (handles out-of-order data), exactly-once delivery, stateful processing, and scalability to millions of events per second. You define a DAG of operations, and Flink parallelizes and distributes it across a cluster.

How does Flink differ from Kafka Streams?
Flink is a separate cluster; Kafka Streams runs in your app. Flink handles complex state and recovery centrally; Streams is lightweight, embedded. Flink for complex workflows (joins, multi-source aggregations); Streams for simpler topologies co-located with apps.
What is exactly-once semantics and why does it matter?
Exactly-once means every event is processed and output exactly once, no duplicates or loss. Critical for payments, inventory, and fraud detection. Flink achieves it via distributed snapshots (checkpoints) and idempotent sinks.
How do savepoints differ from checkpoints?
Checkpoints: automatic, for recovery on failure. Savepoints: manual, for planned restarts, version upgrades, or A/B testing. Savepoints are durable and can be versioned.
What state backends should I use?
MemoryStateBackend: dev only. FsStateBackend: testing. RocksDBStateBackend: production (fast local store + distributed snapshots). Most companies use RocksDB.
Can Flink handle late-arriving data?
Yes, via allowedLateness. Set window grace period. Data arriving after window closes can still update results. Trade-off: memory (holding state) vs. accuracy (fewer late updates).
How do I tune Flink for low latency?
Reduce parallelism if network I/O dominates (lowers coordination overhead). Increase batch size if CPU is bottleneck. Tune RocksDB cache. Monitor GC pauses. Target: <100ms latency at p99.
Is Flink replacing Spark Stream Processing?
For true streaming, yes. Spark Micro-batching has inherent 500ms+ latency. Flink is lower latency, event-time first. Spark Structured Streaming is improving but still batched. Flink dominates real-time use cases.
