Loving Flink so far and listening to Robert makes me realise why- it's so important to have a deep grasp of prior art and fundamentals. The insight that if you start with a streaming foundation you can implement batch over the top is so important. So often I see tools and systems try to add streaming later, and it just doesn't work. Whereas if you start pipelined, everything else is relatively easy. The hybrid source thing is so great, and I'm very happy never to have to write the plumbing for that myself ever again. Great interview, both of you.

It's really a great interview about Flink and Robert Metzger really explained everything very intuitively and easy to understand manner.
Great show, and a proper description of flink ! Looking forward for the 2nd episode!
