    Discontinued The Self-Driving Database Management System

  • I was one of the main authors of a research project called Peloton (https://github.com/cmu-db/peloton) which was later rebranded to NoisePage (https://github.com/cmu-db/noisepage). The initial version of RisingWave actually borrowed a lot from Peloton (fun fact: that's also how DuckDB https://duckdb.org/ started!), but we decided to rewrite in Rust due to development cost and security (e.g., memory leakage) considerations (more info: https://www.risingwave-labs.com/blog/building-a-cloud-database-from-scratch-why-we-moved-from-cpp-to-rust/).

    Cloud-native SQL stream processing, analytics, and management. KsqlDB and Apache Flink alternative. 🚀 10x more productive. 🚀 10x more cost-efficient.

  • RisingWave's design was quite different from Materialize. here's a discussion thread for your reference: https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave/discussions/1736.
