This is follow up of , https://github.com/apache/flink-web/pull/811 with the build file updates and modified date for the blog post. This PR contains a technical blog post titled **"From Stream to Lakehouse: Kafka Ingestion with the Flink Dynamic Iceberg Sink"**. The article addresses a common pain point for data engineers: managing complex and brittle ingestion pipelines for thousands of evolving Kafka topics. It introduces the **Flink Dynamic Iceberg Sink** as a solution that enables a self-adapting, zero-downtime ingestion layer. The post walks the reader through static pipelines using iceberg sink and then provides a detailed guide on building the same using dynamic iceberg sink. It focuses on a practical use case involving Kafka, Avro, and Confluent Schema Registry, and includes code examples to illustrate the key components. **Key Topics Covered:** * Building generic Kafka to iceberg ingestion pipeline and scaling to thousands of topics in single pipeline. * The challenges of static Kafka-to-Iceberg pipelines (schema evolution, new topics). * An architectural overview of the Dynamic Iceberg Sink pattern. * A step-by-step implementation guide, including: * Preserving metadata with a `KafkaRecord` wrapper. * Using a `DynamicRecordGenerator` for late binding of schema and table information. * Assembling the final Flink job. * Details on the feature's availability in Apache Iceberg and supported Flink versions. * Credits to the original author of the proposal and key contributors. **Related Links** * This work is based on the original proposal: [Flink Dynamic Iceberg Sink Proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R3NZmi65S4lwnmNjH4gLCuXZbgvZV5GNrQKJ5NYdO9s/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.xv1r23unqyn3) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
