Real-Time Event Streaming Platform. Streaming CDC, stream processing, low-latency serving, and Iceberg management.

RisingWave is a real-time event streaming platform designed to offer the simplest and most cost-effective way to process, analyze, and manage real-time event data — with built-in support for the Apache Iceberg™ open table format. It provides both a Postgres-compatible SQL interface and a DataFrame-style Python interface.

RisingWave can ingest millions of events per second, continuously join and analyze live streams with historical data, serve ad-hoc queries at low latency, and persist fresh, consistent results to Apache Iceberg™ or any other downstream system.
