Finnish cloud data infrastructure startup Aiven recently debuted Aiven for Apache Flink, a fully managed streaming SQL engine for accelerated event processing and rapid data transfer.  This new offering is helping organizations transition away from batch processing towards faster stream processing.  Batch processing involves collecting a “batch” of information over time, which is then fed into an analytics system for processing. Stream processing provides analytics results in real-time by feeding data into analytics tools the moment it is generated.  According to the company website, Aiven for Apache Flink enables developers to perform real-time filtering, enriching, aggregation, alerting, and analysis of events.  Aiven claims Apache Flink allows developers to build applications solely by using SQL language with no coding required.  The new real-time data stream processing platform is generally available on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
