Building agents using streaming SQL queries

Apache Flink's streaming SQL capabilities enable event-driven, scalable AI agent systems that interact with large language models, access contextual data, and maintain state. Benefits include easy LLM integration, real-time data processing, joining diverse data sources, vector search for retrieval-augmented generation, and stateful processing for agent memory. While not suitable for all agent types, Flink SQL offers SQL-savvy developers an accessible way to create intelligent, event-driven workflows on a proven stream processing foundation.
