Fluss Forward - London
One day of talks. One evening of community. One exclusive product day.
Fluss Forward is where the people building and running Apache Fluss™ come together engineers, contributors, and early adopters shaping the future of open-source, lakehouse-native streaming storage. This isn't a vendor showcase. It's a community event, deliberately timed as the pre-event to Big Data LDN: the deeper dive before the wider stage.
Day 1. Fluss Forward + Dark Mode
A content-driven conference dedicated entirely to Apache Fluss and real-time data infrastructure. Short, dense talks from engineers in production, architecture deep dives, honest war stories, and a panel with the people actually building Fluss. No theory without numbers. No pitches. No filler.
When the talks end, Dark Mode begins an open-floor evening of drinks, music, and unscripted conversation. Contributors next to early adopters, engineers next to architects. The Apache Fluss community, off the record.
One ticket, full-day access, lunch included. Evening experience to follow.
Day 2. Fluss Product Day
An exclusive feature review of Apache Fluss guided by the Ververica engineers actively building it. Small groups, real systems, direct access to the core team. Your chance to get inside it before it goes public.
What gets covered
Apache Fluss in production: columnar streaming storage, millisecond latency, real-time updates, and up to 10x read performance with reduced network costs from the early adopters already running it
Streamhouse architecture: Flink as compute, Fluss as real-time storage, Paimon as the historical tier
Real-time AI: collapsing the conventional stack into one substrate for feature pipelines, model serving, and online inference
Why Fluss, why now: what Apache incubating status means and how to get involved
Community building: meet the committers, first-time contributor workshops, and the on-ramp for shaping what Fluss becomes
