Running in LocalExecutionEnvironment in production

Suraj Puvvada
Hello,

We currently have a lot of jobs running in LocalExecutionEnvorinment and wanted to understand the limitations and if it is recommended to run in this mode.

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks
Suraj

Hey Suraj,

sorry for the late reply. In principle, there are no limitations from that mode, and it is fine to use it in production. Flink is extensively using the local execution for testing.

In many cases, it runs exactly the same code as you would run on a fully distributed setup. There are some shortcuts in the network stack for efficiency reasons.

Best,
Robert
