How does RisingWave Cloud handle upgrades?

I am comparing RisingWave Cloud with Materialize and Flink SQL for a streaming pipeline. I am concerned about downtime during upgrades and automation options for upgrades. How does RisingWave Cloud handle upgrades? Is there downtime? Can upgrades be automated? How long will a version be supported before customers must upgrade?

Ja

  • RisingWave Cloud upgrades are controlled by the user, allowing customers to schedule upgrades based on their timeline.
  • Downtime during upgrades is very short, typically lasting only a few seconds.
  • Rolling upgrades are possible depending on the cluster configuration.
  • The version support duration on RisingWave Cloud before customers must upgrade is not explicitly mentioned.
