As agent-based technologies and applications continue to evolve, we believe that building event-driven streaming agent applications will emerge as a critical direction for the field. Against this backdrop, the Flink community has launched Flink Agents — a subproject and agent-building framework built on top of Apache Flink. Since the release of its first version in September 2025, Flink Agents has made significant strides in functional iteration, fault-tolerant execution, ecosystem integration, and observability, all driven by close collaboration across the community. Building on Flink Agents 0.2.1, the community developed an intelligent Flink operations agent demo capable of automatically analyzing Flink job health, providing diagnostic recommendations, and attempting to resolve issues using available tools. This talk will cover the following topics: ● Event-driven streaming agent use cases and the advantages Flink Agents brings to this space. ● The architecture and core features of Flink Agents. ● Latest advancements in Flink Agents, including support for Agent Skills, Mem0-based Long-Term memory, and enhanced Durable Execution. ● The roadmap for Flink Agents. ● A live demo of an intelligent Flink job operations agent built with Flink Agents.
