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)
