RisingWave is a production-grade distributed streaming SQL database. The codebase implements a multi-node cluster composed of SQL frontend nodes (parser, binder, optimizer, planner), compute nodes running both streaming executors and batch execution, a meta service for catalog/scheduling/checkpoint coordination, and a custom LSM-tree storage engine (Hummock) over object storage. It speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol, supports incremental CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW over streaming inputs, and serves real-time queries and sinks. The repository is primarily an application, despite containing extensive benchmarks and deterministic simulation testing: those artifacts validate distributed-system correctness rather than performing data research.
