flink-connector

A Flink connector is a component in Apache Flink, a stream processing framework, that enables data to flow between Flink and external systems like databases, message queues, or storage services. It acts as a bridge, allowing Flink to ingest data from sources (like Kafka or files) and send results to sinks (like databases or dashboards). Connectors are essential for integrating Flink into broader data architectures, providing reliable, scalable, and efficient data movement and transformation capabilities in real-time data processing environments.
