Deployment and Operations #
Stateful Functions runtime, which manages state and messaging for an application, is built on top of Apache Flink, which means it inherits Flink’s deployment and operations model. Read through the official Apache Flink documentation to learn how to run and maintain an application in production. The following pages outline Stateful Functions' specific concepts, configurations, and metrics.
Images #
The recommended deployment mode for Stateful Functions runtime is to use the official Docker image. This way, user code does not need to package any Apache Flink components. The provided image allows teams to package their applications with all the necessary runtime dependencies quickly.
The community provides images containing the entire Stateful Functions runtime: apache/flink-statefun:3.1.0
.
All you need to do is attach your module configurations to the container.
Deployment #
The packaged image can then be deployed as a standalone Flink cluster on Kubernetes.
After creating the below cluster components, the application can be launched using the kubectl
command.
# Configuration and service definition
$ kubectl create -f application-module.yaml
$ kubectl create -f flink-config.yaml
$ kubectl create -f jobmanager-service.yaml
# Deploy the StateFun runtime
$ kubectl create -f jobmanager-job.yaml
$ kubectl create -f taskmanager-job-deployment-yaml
To terminate the cluster, simply delete the deployments.
$ kubectl delete -f taskmanager-job-deployment-yaml
$ kubectl delete -f jobmanager-job.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f jobmanager-service.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f flink-config.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f application-module.yaml

flink-config.yaml
flink-config.yaml
contains all Flink runtime configurations for the cluster,
including both Apache Flink configurations and StatFun specific configurations.
In the Apache Flink documentation, you will often see this referred to as the flink-conf.yaml
file.
