## What Is RisingWave Optimized For?
RisingWave simplifies the development of real-time data pipelines and applications. It is purpose-built to:

* **Ingestion**: Ingest millions of events per second from both streaming and batch data sources.
* **Stream processing**: Perform real-time incremental data processing to join and analyze live data streams with historical tables.
* **Serving**: Persist data and serve ad-hoc queries with single-digit millisecond latency.
* **Delivery**: Deliver fresh, consistent results to data lakes (e.g., Apache Iceberg) or any destination.


## Why Is RisingWave Special?
RisingWave stands apart from traditional stream processing systems due to its:

### PostgreSQL Compatibility
* **Seamless integration**: Works with a wide range of tools in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.
* **Expressive SQL**: Supports structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data using a rich, familiar SQL dialect.
* **No manual state tuning**: Eliminates the need for complex state management configurations.

### Decoupled Compute and Storage
* **Optimized for complex queries**: Ensures high performance, especially for complex operations like joins and time windowing.
* **Fast failure recovery**: Recovers from system crashes within seconds.
* **Dynamic scaling**: Adjusts resources instantly to handle workload spikes.
