 ## Native Distributed Message-Oriented Architecture
 
-FlinkDotNet implements a **native distributed message-oriented architecture** that combines Apache Flink 2.1, Apache Kafka, Temporal workflows, and native JobManager/TaskManager clustering to deliver enterprise-grade stream processing at massive scale. This architecture is designed to support the future of **Agentic AI** and real-time data streaming as envisioned in [The Future of Data Streaming with Apache Flink for Agentic AI](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2025/08/18/the-future-of-data-streaming-with-apache-flink-for-agentic-ai/).
+FlinkDotNet implements a **native distributed message-oriented architecture** using **Native FlinkDotNet JobManager and TaskManager** (not Apache Flink), combined with Apache Kafka and Temporal workflows to deliver enterprise-grade stream processing at massive scale.
