Hi Community :) I would like to share with you a small news. Few weeks ago together with GetInData [1] we created a new connector for Flink. The new connector allows you to use a 3rd party REST services as a Stream source that later can be used in Flink SQL Lookup Joins. This opens a new possibilities for representing Data Enrichment in Flink SQL as a regular SQL JOIN instead using/coding dedicated UDFs. We made this connector an Open Source [2] so its open for use.
If you would like to get more information about this connector both for business use-case as for technical details I encourage you to read our two articles dedicated to this connector, business use case description [3], technical details [4].
