RisingWave

RisingWave is a distributed SQL streaming platform that continuously ingests event streams from Kafka, Kinesis, and other sources, transforms them using PostgreSQL-compatible SQL, and serves low-latency results through incrementally maintained materialized views. It delivers sub-100ms freshness for operational workloads and supports streaming analytics via Apache Iceberg integration with exactly-once semantics. The platform offers a decoupled compute and storage architecture for cost efficiency, with transparent dynamic scaling and instant failure recovery. RisingWave is available as open-source (Apache 2.0), as a managed cloud service (RisingWave Cloud) on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and as a self-managed deployment on Kubernetes.

RisingWave publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Events API, Healthz API, and Sql API. Tagged areas include Streaming, SQL, Database, Real-Time, and Kafka.

The RisingWave catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

RisingWave’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 11 more developer resources.
