Overview

Facing rapid growth and competition in its online business, Pinterest had to evolve its data stack from offline-only ETL batch jobs to near-real-time big data applications. But stateful stream processing is a relatively new technology in the big data field, and there are many offerings to choose from, each with its own pros and cons.

Join us for this Case Study with Pinterest tech lead Chen Qin to learn how the company chose Apache Flink as the technology behind its stream processing platform. You’ll see how the platform has enabled critical use cases and a user base that scaled out and evolved along with product innovation—and hear some lessons learned while implementing and growing the platform.
