+# A tour of Apache Flink and CrateDB
+
+This folder includes concise executable examples demonstrating
+how to use Apache Flink with CrateDB, with both Java and Python.
+
+Usually, you will submit your Apache Flink job to a cluster for
+execution The examples in this tour are self-contained, and will
+use the [Flink MiniCluster] for execution.

+# Apache Flink and CrateDB with Java
+
+Basic examples demonstrating how to read and write from/to
+CrateDB when using Apache Flink.
+
+The examples use both the [CrateDB JDBC] and the [PostgreSQL JDBC]
+driver. CrateDB JDBC is needed for catalog operations, which are
+required when reading from CrateDB using Flink.
