This blog post continues our series of thought leadership pieces that provide insights into the product strategy and evolution for RisingWave (see the first installment here).

However, leading data platform vendors now recognize the importance of converging batch and stream processing.

As business challenges have evolved, the line between batch and streaming has blurred, paving the way for a unified data processing model.
