Apache Flink
Stream processing framework with powerful stream
...Its core runtime executes dataflow graphs with fine-grained backpressure and checkpointing, allowing applications to recover consistently from failures. Flink’s event-time model and watermarks enable accurate out-of-order processing, windowing, and complex time semantics that typical real-time systems struggle with. Developers program against high-level APIs—DataStream and Table/SQL—to express transformations, joins, and stateful patterns, while specialized libraries support CEP, machine learning workflows, and connectors. A rich connector ecosystem integrates with systems like Kafka, Kinesis, filesystems, JDBC sources/sinks, and object stores. ...
