7:40 pm Stateful Stream Processing with Apache Flink
By Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai, data Artisans
As Apache Flink continues to push the boundaries of stateful stream processing as an integral part of its past releases, increasing numbers of users are starting to realize the potential of stateful stream processing as a promising paradigm for robust and reactive data analytics as well as event-driven applications.
This talk aims at covering the general idea and motivations of stateful stream processing, and how Flink enables it with its powerful set of state management features and programming APIs. In addition to that, we will also take a look at the recent advancements related to Flink's state management and large state handling that were driven by our team at data Artisans team in the latest version 1.3 (expected release by end of May / early June).

This workshop is designed for developers who have some experience with relational (SQL) databases and would like to learn how to handle data modeling in document-oriented NoSQL databases.
Description
Document-Oriented NoSQL databases have great potential to provide flexibility, scalability and performance for their users. The first step to fulfill this potential is building the "foundation" - planning the way we would store data in a very different database from the
traditional SQL.
In this workshop, participants will learn the theory and the practical knowledge required for
modeling data for a scalabale and performant database.
Attendees should bring a Notebook
