⁠What is Flex?

⁠An Engineering Toolkit for Apache Flink®

Flex combines an intuitive UI with a secure, powerful API and world-beating performance.

Once installed, Flex gathers information about your Flink resources every minute, stores the results locally, then provides custom telemetry and insights to you in a rich data-oriented UI.

⁠Streamline and simplify Flink with the first enterprise-ready tooling solution

Once installed, Flex gathers information about your Flink resources every minute, stores the results locally, then provides custom telemetry and insights to you in a rich data-oriented UI.

• User Authentication via DB, File, LDAP, SAML, or OpenID configuration.
• User Authorization with Simple or Role Based Access Controls (RBAC).
• Data Policies for masking and redaction of sensitive data like Credit Card or PII.
• Data Governance with all user actions captured in the Flex audit log.
• Slack Integration to have user actions sent to an operations channel as they happen.
• HTTPS easily configured with your own certificates, or integrated with a reverse-proxy.
• Prometheus endpoints to integrate with your preferred metrics and alerting systems.
• Multi-Cluster Monitoring from a single installation for cost efficiency and simplicity.
