  • Yes, RisingWave can be a good fit for building near-realtime dashboards in a traditional SaaS app with PostgreSQL as the main database.
  • RisingWave offers a CDC source that allows ingesting data from PostgreSQL for real-time data transformation and analysis.
  • The workflow involves using PostgreSQL CDC to RisingWave for real-time data processing and then back to PostgreSQL for storage.
  • RisingWave can serve as a smart companion to the main database, enabling the creation of near-realtime stats, dashboards, and activity feeds for user-facing pages.
