Overview

Irontools is a suite of Apache Flink® extensions that makes your Flink pipelines more efficient and unlocks new use cases.

It’s designed with efficiency and great developer experience in mind.

Iron Serde

Iron Serde is a set of drop-in Kafka serde libraries, currently supporting Avro and JSON formats.

These libraries are built with performance at their core. They leverage runtime schema information to generate highly optimized parsing logic just-in-time.

Iron Functions

Iron Functions is a set of tools and libraries that allow authoring transformation logic or User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in languages like TypeScript, Rust, Go. They can be compiled to WebAssembly, and run securely and efficiently inside a Flink pipeline.

Iron Functions supports both DataStream and Table/SQL APIs.
