VERA Features and Benefits List
The VERA engine’s advanced features enhance performance, optimize computing resource utilization, and elevate the user experience.
| Feature Name | Description | Benefits for Ververica Users |
|---|---|---|
| Compute / Storage Separation | Separating compute and storage in VERA enables each to scale independently. | Allows for efficient scaling of stateful applications, enhanced resiliency, and cost optimization, especially in cloud-native environments. |
| Tiered Storage | VERA reduces job downtime and improves scalability by synchronously trimming redundant state data and downloading state asynchronously. | Balances state recovery speed with resource efficiency, improving scalability, resilience, and fault tolerance. |
| Streaming Join Optimization | VERA separates keys from values, storing large values separately with references in the log-structured merge-tree (LSM tree). | Reduces CPU and I/O overhead, enabling faster data access and improved efficiency for use cases like anomaly detection and recommendation systems. |
| Scheduling Functions | Speeds up job restarts after failures or updates. | Minimizes downtime, reduces operational overhead, and ensures stable stream processing under heavy loads. |
| Dynamic Complex Event Processing (CEP) | Allows event processing rules to be changed in real-time without service interruption. | Enables seamless collaboration between BI and upstream teams, ensuring stable data feeds while supporting real-time changes. |
| Create Database as Database (CDAS) & Enhanced Catalogs | Minimizes downtime and data loss across distributed systems while providing real-time metadata for state and query management. | Enhances reliability, performance, and scalability for large-scale stream processing systems with real-time state management. |
| Built-in Flink Machine Learning (ML) | VERA includes pre-installed machine learning APIs from the Apache Flink® library. | Provides real-time ML capabilities for critical applications like fraud detection, recommendation systems, and predictive maintenance. |
