Sergey Dudoladov created FLINK-1089:
---------------------------------------
Summary: The Flink website main page is uninformative.
Key: FLINK-1089
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1089 Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Project Website
Reporter: Sergey Dudoladov
Priority: Trivial
The webpage at
http://flink.incubator.apache.org/ provides no information on why Flink is useful.
The problem is that after skimming the main page people cannot figure out why they should try Flink. I gave the link above to my friend from industry, and in 5 minutes he asked me if Flink was an enterprise Java framework.
I suggest adding 2-3 paragraphs under the "Project Overview" heading. They should explain in plain English what dataflow systems are, which tasks they solve and what differentiates Flink from its competitors.
A link to the recent VLDB paper might help as well.
PS I would like to emphasize the word "plain" in the previous paragraph.
