As July draws to an end, we look back at a monthful of activity in the Flink community, including two releases (!) and some work around improving the first-time contribution experience in the project. Also, events are starting to pick up again, so we've put together a list of some great events you can (virtually) attend in August!

With an ever-growing number of people working with data, it’s a common practice for companies to build self-service platforms with the goal of democratizing their access across different teams and — especially — to enable users from any background to be independent in their data needs. In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.

With the rise of stream processing and real-time analytics as a critical tool for modern businesses, an increasing number of organizations build platforms with Apache Flink at their core and offer it internally as a service. Many talks with related topics from companies like Uber, Netflix and Alibaba in the latest editions of Flink Forward further illustrate this trend.

The Apache Flink community is proud to announce the release of Flink 1.11.0! More than 200 contributors worked on over 1.3k issues to bring significant improvements to usability as well as new features to Flink users across the whole API stack. We're particularly excited about unaligned checkpoints to cope with high backpressure scenarios, a new source API that simplifies and unifies the implementation of (custom) sources, and support for Change Data Capture (CDC) and other common use cases in the Table API/SQL. Read on for all major new features and improvements, important changes to be aware of and what to expect moving forward!
