A Database Startups’s 2022 Year-End Review and 2023 Outlook: The Founder’s View

I am the founder of RisingWave Labs, a startup building the next-gen SQL streaming database called RisingWave. We started building RisingWave in early 2021.

It's already 2023, and it means RisingWave will enter its 3rd year. Over the last two years, RisingWave has grown from a personal project to a project with 3.7K stars and 100+ contributors, and the startup has also come out of stealth and became a series-A company.

I summarized RisingWave's 2022 here in a blog: https://medium.com/@yingjunwu/risingwaves-2022-year-end-revi.... It was originally an internal blog circulated inside our company, but now I decide to make it public so that everyone can understand where we came from, where we are, and where we are going.

Any comment is welcome, and I wish everyone a great and successful year in 2023!
