" summary

Builds streaming apps with Apache Flink (and mentions Beam and Kafka) and uses concrete metrics to change development: tracks watermarks monitored and per-source throughput, measures checkpoint size to catch a once‑daily drop, and separates per-stream lag so upstream teams’ different aggregation patterns surface. That led to reassigning integration ownership and routing small modular alerts to team Slack channels; the lightweight, provider‑agnostic approach scales and reduces false pages while keeping iteration fast.
