While developing Zalando’s real-time business process monitoring solution, we encountered the need to generate complex events upon the detection of specific patterns of input events. In this blog post we describe the generation of such events using Apache Flink, and share our experiences and lessons learned in the process. You can read more on why we have chosen Apache Flink over other stream processing frameworks here: Apache Showdown: Flink vs.
