I mean RisingWave, the solution mentioned in the article, is a complete startup rewriting things in Rust mostly to avoid the larger Java solutions like Flink and Spark...

Flink and Spark are painful for streaming.

They do work, but they have some sharp and rough edges.

I think 90% of the use cases for streaming data is because managers have nothing better to do than to reload their profits dashboard.

They are rarely supported by real business value.

Save the data as soon as it comes in and transform it in batch mode.
