Ververica Platform 2.10.4 is released!

Ververica Platform release 2.10.4 is now released to General Availability (GA) for all customers and interested parties.

Ververica Platform is built on Apache Flink® and combines the best of open source technologies with Ververica's proprietary enhancements, based on our expertise in powering ecommerce, real-time transactions and analytics, fraud detection, personalized recommendations, IoT applications, sentiment analysis, and more at massive scale.

This is a patch release and delivers an increment to the Flink core and incremental improvements to the platform, with a focus on ease and robustness of deployability, and interoperability in complex, real world environments.

Patch releases enable Ververica to respond rapidly to feature requests from customers already running Ververica Platform live in the field as a private cloud platform for their Flink applications.
