Confluent introduces fully managed version of Apache Flink

Confluent has just announced a new managed service for Apache Flink to help make it easier for customers to create data streams.

Stream processing is a technology that allows data professionals to utilize data as it arrives instead of working on older data that has already been processed. It is needed for uses like fraud detection, predictive maintenance, and real-time inventory and supply chain management, according to Confluent.

Flink is commonly used to support stream processing workloads, but according to the company, getting started can mean dealing with challenges such as upfront costs, ongoing maintenance efforts, and needing to deal with the complexities associated with it. 

Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink will enable users to get started quickly with added support from Confluent through integrated monitoring, security, and governance. It features a 99.999% uptime SLA and is currently available through AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. 

“Stream processing allows organizations to transform raw streams of data into powerful insights,” said Shaun Clowes, chief product officer at Confluent. “Flink’s high performance, low latency, and strong community make it the best choice for developers to use for stream processing. With Kafka and Flink fully integrated in a unified platform, Confluent removes the technical barriers and provides the necessary tools so organizations can focus on innovating instead of infrastructure management.”

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
