Apache Flink® Meetup Zurich – Real-Time Data Transformation Without the Drama
Thursday, March 5, 2026 | 18:00 CET
In this meetup, we’ll talk about how teams are actually adopting streaming in production — what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity along the way.
Join fellow practitioners to hear real-world stories from Swisscom engineers who are building and running streaming platforms at scale using Apache Flink® and the modern streaming stack.
No hype, no vendor pitches — just honest lessons and practical insights from the field.
