For a full list of improvements, see the Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink release notes.

Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink makes it easier to transform and analyze streaming data in real time, by simplifying the setup, operation, and scaling of Apache Flink applications. Developers and data engineers can focus on building and running their streaming applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.

To get started, create a new application on Apache Flink 2.3, or use in-place version upgrades to move compatible applications to the Flink 2.3 runtime for a simpler and faster upgrade. Apache Flink 2.3 is available across all AWS Regions where Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink is offered. To learn more, see the Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink Developer Guide.
