Flink
Apache Flink is an open-source framework for distributed stream and batch processing, designed for high-throughput, low-latency data processing. For example, Flink might process real-time clickstream data to generate user behavior analytics. It supports stateful computations, exactly-once semantics, and integration with systems like Kafka. Flink is powerful for big data applications, but it has a steep learning curve and requires managing distributed clusters.
