Session Overview

Learn advanced techniques to optimize Apache Flink for ultra-low-latency stream processing. This talk covers tuning, resource allocation, state backend choices, and bottleneck elimination for peak real-time performance.

Apache Flink is designed for real-time, low-latency data processing — but getting it to run at peak performance takes more than default settings. In this session, we’ll go under the hood to explore advanced optimization strategies that can help you squeeze every millisecond of performance out of your Flink pipelines.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Tune resource allocation and parallelism for maximum efficiency
  • Choose and configure the right state backends to balance speed and durability
  • Optimize network buffers and data exchange for minimal processing delays
  • Identify and remove hidden bottlenecks that slow down real-time applications
  • Measure latency and throughput effectively to guide continuous improvement

This talk shares field-proven techniques and tuning frameworks used in production environments to achieve ultra-low latency at scale — helping you build Flink applications that truly deliver real-time performance.
