RisingWave
Real-time streaming database for agentic AI and live analytics

RisingWave is an open-source, distributed SQL streaming platform that ingests data from event streams, databases, and data lakes, then processes and serves it in real time using PostgreSQL-compatible SQL. It features built-in storage, materialized views with sub-100ms freshness, and exactly-once guarantees, eliminating the need for separate caches or stream processors. It is available as a self-hosted open-source engine or as a fully managed cloud service.
RisingWave continuously ingests from event streams and databases, transforms data using standard SQL with materialized views, and serves results at low latency from its built-in storage layer.
