Flink framework is suitable for developing following kinds of applications.
Event driven applications - Event driven applications inject events from one or more event streams and reacts to then - either performing computations, updating state, or triggering external actions.
Data analytics applications - Data analytics applications ingest data from one or more data streams, and perform analytics and insights on the data. Data can be analyzed in a batch mode, or in a real-time streaming mode.
Data pipeline applications - Data pipeline applications ingest data from one or more multiple streams, transform and enrich the data, and move the data to a storage system such as a data warehouse system.
