20:00 Talk 2Event-Driven Workflow Orchestration with Kestra for the Streaming Stack: Kafka, Flink, Fluss, and Beyond
Data streaming moves events in real time, but streaming alone does not run the business. Flink jobs need deployment and monitoring, lakehouse tables need maintenance, and events need to trigger processes with retries, human approval and an audit trail. AI agents act on events autonomously and need the same governance.This talk shows how event-driven workflow orchestration complements the streaming stack and goes beyond it, because not everything is a stream. Kestra is an open source platform built in Java under Apache 2.0. It provides unified orchestration of real-time and batch workloads across data, AI, infrastructure and business processes. A practical walkthrough connects Apache Kafka, Apache Flink and Apache Fluss with APIs, databases and the lakehouse, all the way to trusted agentic AI.
