Hi Artur, I'm not sure if Flink is the best tool to write data from Android Apps to Kafka. Flink would be a good choice to process such data by reading it from Kafka.
I would reach out to the Kafka user list and seek for advice there. Best, Fabian Btw. The Apache dev@ mailing lists are meant to discuss the development of the projects. The user@ lists are for user questions.
