Hi, I'd suggest to have a look at the window operators [1]. For example a tumbling window of 1 minute can be used to compute metrics every minute. Flink's window operators are very extensible and you can implement very custom logic if the predefined windows don't match your use case. In any case, windows are used to collect and perform a computation on a set of records.
