The Future of Data Streaming with Apache Flink for Agentic AI

Agentic AI is moving into production. Autonomous, tool-using, goal-driven systems that need real-time data and context. Apache Kafka and Flink provide the event-driven foundation to run these agents at scale. With the new Flink Agents project (FLIP-531), Flink will natively support long-running, system-triggered AI agents integrated with LLMs, tools, and emerging protocols like MCP and A2A. This marks a major step toward reliable, enterprise-grade Agentic AI.

Building Agentic AI with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Data Streaming Using Apache Kafka and Flink

Agentic AI goes beyond chatbots. These are autonomous systems that observe, reason, and act—continuously and in real time. At AWS Summit New York 2025, Amazon launched Bedrock AgentCore to build and operate secure, scalable AI agents. But to run in production, agents also need real-time data, continuous context, and flexible integration. That’s where data streaming with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink comes in. Combined with open standards like MCP and A2A, they provide the event-driven foundation for always-on, enterprise-grade AI agents.

FinOps in Real Time: How Data Streaming Transforms Cloud Cost Management

FinOps bridges the gap between finance and engineering to control cloud spend in real time. However, many organizations still rely on delayed, batch-driven data pipelines that limit visibility and slow down decisions. This blog explores how Apache Kafka and Apache Flink enable real-time, governed FinOps by streaming cloud usage data as it happens. It covers the challenges of data governance, compliance, and cross-functional accountability—and how streaming architecture addresses them. Real-world examples from Bitvavo and SumUp show how financial services companies scale securely, build cost-aware teams, and improve agility using event-driven platforms.
