Datorios announced the general release of new observability features for the open-source Apache Flink stream processing system. The new features from Datorios provide businesses with the observability required to ensure that Flink-powered real-time AI applications drive accurate, rational business automation on a continuous basis. The solution and its new features are especially important for agentic AI.

As real-time data streams into and out of AI models such as LLMs, it is processed by Apache Flink programs. From time to time, it becomes necessary to observe how these Flink programs are behaving–in response to a system crash, a customer complaint, or a regulatory audit request. The new observability capabilities from Datorios provide this insight in interactive dashboards purpose-built for real-time stream data processing in Flink. This enables businesses to quickly pinpoint the root cause of an issue and resolve it.
