RisingWave
The real-time streaming database.
Overview
RisingWave is an open-source streaming database that uses SQL as its primary interface. It is designed to reduce the complexity of building real-time applications by allowing developers to treat streams as tables. It consumes streaming data, performs continuous queries, and maintains results in materialized views that can be served with low latency. Its architecture decouples compute and storage for efficiency and scalability.
✨ Key Features
- Distributed SQL streaming engine
- PostgreSQL compatibility (wire-compatible)
- Decoupled compute and storage architecture
- Incremental computation for materialized views
- Efficient streaming joins
- Connectors for Kafka, Iceberg, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
🎯 Key Differentiators
- PostgreSQL compatibility makes it easy to adopt
- Decoupled compute and storage architecture for cost-efficiency
- High performance for complex streaming joins
Unique Value: Simplify real-time data processing and analytics by using SQL to build powerful, efficient, and scalable streaming applications.
