-Apache Flink is an open source platform for distributed stream and batch data
processing. Flink’s core is a streaming dataflow engine that provides data
distribution, communication, and fault tolerance for distributed computations
over data streams. Flink builds batch processing on top of the streaming
engine, overlaying native iteration support, managed memory, and program
optimization.

executing those jobs.
Review comment:
This feels out of place here. I'd keep the original style of having this
as a brief page intro that is overarching to everything else.
Also, for coherence, we could use the same description as in the "What is
Flink?" section of the website? I think this will be revised at some point once
the page is updated, but it could avoid introducing too many different notions
of Flink all over the place.
