Netflix is processing over 5 MILLION records per second to track every move of a user across streaming, games, and ads. How? They abandoned traditional warehouses for a Real-Time Distributed Graph (RDG) built on Apache Flink. This is the blueprint for unifying fragmented, high-scale data. 

The key components of RDG:

• Ingestion is fueled by Kafka

• Data Stored in Avro format with schema in central registry

• Filtering, enriching, deduping, transforming streams are all enabled by Flink

• Publish the processed data (Nodes & Edges of the RDG) to Data Mesh for further consumption
