You can use several approaches to enrich your real-time data in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink depending on your use case and Apache Flink abstraction level. Each method has different effects on the throughput, network traffic, and CPU (or memory) utilization. For a general overview of data enrichment patterns, refer to Common streaming data enrichment patterns in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink. This post covers how you can implement data enrichment for real-time streaming events with Apache Flink and how you can optimize performance. To compare the performance of the enrichment patterns, we ran performance testing based on synthetic data. The result of this test is useful as a general reference. It’s important to note that the actual performance for your Flink workload will depend on various and different factors, such as API latency, throughput, size of the event, and cache hit ratio.
