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 is listed with 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Events API, Healthz API, Sql API, and 3 more. 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 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Databases (PostgreSQL wire)	builds-on	17.2 (thin)	-	2

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
