Does anyone have experience with RisingWave in production? It seems like an interesting product but I can't find any experience reports.

I've been running this in prod self hosted for around 6 months (podman with docker compose, minio for s3, streaming with pulsar). We have built position calculations for risk monitoring and booking enrichment pipelines. Risingwave is a much better alternative to Kafka Streams: primarily around consistency, sql first, easy state query and deployment.

The RisingWave team are pretty responsive on slack and the ask ai feature also helps to solve questions. They have coverage from Singapore, China and California.

Issues we have seen have mostly been related to reliability of our on prem Minio cluster which is used to store the data. Other bugs do appear from release to release but once raised get attention quickly.

I was going to go with Redpanda+Flink, would you suggest otherwise? (and why)

Looking at the contributor list, I doubt they speak English or frequent HN so you’ll only get the engineers’ perspective. Looks new and the cloud offering a way to sell it.

A. Some of the team members are in the bay area including the founder who writes well. B. Used it for streaming sql on citus cluster and planning to use it more.
