Chicago Apache Flink Meetup (CHAF):Hands-on Apache Flink Workshop (February 21, 2017)
From the promotional materials:
In this workshop, we will go over a hands on tutorial highlighting building a Flink stream processor.
The workshop will show you how to
1. Set up a stream consisting of Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus tracker data
2. Use different types of windowing techniques to generate metrics on the CTA
3. Sink the metrics to a queryable data sink
4. Turn all of the above into a deployable job that can be scaled up.
You will see all of Flink's major components in action: streams, sinks, windows, triggers, watermarks, etc.
A preconfigured virtual machine containing the workshop materials will be available for download prior to the meetup.
Pizza and Soda will be provided!
Joe Olson is a local area developer specializing in applying emerging technology to solve business problems, and is currently focusing on understanding the rapidly developing streaming space.
My personal notes:
- Joe has been working with Flink for 1 to 1.5 years now
- the only way to get community going is to get folks involved
- most meetup groups consist of PowerPoint slides
