Stream Forward Erlangen: Dec 16–17, free, for people running Flink in production 🎬 Hi all, if you’re in Germany (or close enough), we’re hosting a two-day Flink practitioner event in Erlangen in December, together with Siemens Healthineers. Free to attend, no vendor pitches. Day 1 (Dec 16): Talks. Short, dense sessions from teams running Flink at scale: architecture deep dives, production war stories, what broke and what they’d do differently. Speakers confirmed so far from Uniper, Siemens Healthineers, T-Systems and Zalando, plus a panel. Talks 0900–1700, lunch included, drinks and food until 19:00. Day 2 (Dec 17): X-Stream Lab. Hands-on in small groups with Ververica engineers. Topics on the table: state management and checkpoint tuning, backpressure debugging, job graph optimization, real-time feature pipelines and online inference, Streamhouse (Flink + Fluss + Paimon), and batch-to-streaming migration. You leave with a working app and 7 days of sandbox access. 📍 Healthineers Innovation Center, Henkestraße 127, Erlangen 🎟️ Register: luma.com/9973uduu If you’re working on something interesting and want to share it with the DACH Flink crowd, there’s still room - DM me.
