These pages were built at: {% build_time %}. Apache Flink is an open source platform for distributed stream and batch data processing. Flinkâs core is a streaming dataflow engine that provides data distribution, communication, and fault tolerance for distributed computations over data streams. Flink builds batch processing on top of the streaming engine, overlaying native iteration support, managed memory, and program optimization. ## First Steps -- **Concepts**: Start with the basic concepts of Flink's [Dataflow Programming Model](concepts/programming-model.html) and [Distributed Runtime Environment](concepts/runtime.html). This will help you understand other parts of the documentation, including the setup and programming guides. We recommended you read these sections first. +- **Concepts**: We recommend you start with the basic concepts of Flink's [Dataflow Programming Model](concepts/programming-model.html) and [Distributed Runtime Environment](concepts/runtime.html).

Then it's an oxford comma, but that's stylistic.
