## What it is
Dinky is an open-source, one-stop real-time computing platform built around Apache Flink, providing an IDE for FlinkSQL development, online debugging, and job operations. It supports all Flink deployment modes, FlinkCDC whole-database synchronization into warehouses and lakes, monitoring, alerting, and enterprise-grade multi-tenant management.

## Use cases
- develop and debug flinksql jobs online
- sync entire mysql database to data lake with flinkcdc
- manage and monitor flink streaming jobs
- set up alerting for real-time flink tasks
- manage savepoint and checkpoint recovery for flink jobs
- build a stream-batch unified real-time data warehouse
- run flink jobs on yarn or kubernetes from a web ide

## When to choose
- your team develops many FlinkSQL/FlinkCDC jobs and needs a unified IDE and ops center
- you want out-of-the-box job deployment across Local, Yarn, and Kubernetes modes
- you need whole-database CDC synchronization into warehouses or lakes with schema evolution
- you want built-in monitoring, alerting, and checkpoint management for streaming jobs

## When to avoid
- you don't use Apache Flink or the JVM big-data ecosystem
- you need a lightweight SQL client without stream-processing orchestration
- you require a fully managed cloud service rather than self-hosted deployment
- your use case is batch-only ETL with no streaming component
