Hi, community, My name is Yeliang Wang, and I am Apache APISIX Committer.
In my knowledge field, Apache Flink as a distributed real-time processing engine for stream data and batch data with high throughput and low latency, has a very rich application scenario in enterprises. For example, in combination with openresty or nginx, there are two application scenarios: 1. client -> gateway -> kafka -> flink，This is the mainstream application scenario (data analysis scenario) in the industry. 2. client -> gateway -> flink(REST API)，Flink has some rest APIs, which can be used to complete current limiting, authentication and other scenarios. [image: 飞书20211214-105403.png] Compared with OpenResty or Nginx, Apache APISIX provides rich traffic management features like Load Balancing, Dynamic Upstream, Canary Release, Circuit Breaking, Authentication, Observability, and more... so Apache APISIX already supports Kafka on plugin( https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/plugins/kafka-logger/ ) so, we to develop more community cooperation with Apache Flink. 1. Hold a wonderful technical meetup together 2. Collaborative output technology blog to share with more people 3. Carry out publicity activities on the official website and media channels together 4. Jointly develop Flink plugin support to APISIX I believe in doing so, it can not only meet the diversified needs of users, but also enrich the surrounding ecology of Apache Flink and Apache APISIX. Wait for more discussion. Thanks, Github: wang-yeliang, Twitter: @WYeliang
