Streaming Latency

Streaming Latency refers to the various delays experienced by data as it flows through a stream processing system. Key types include End-to-End Latency (total time from event occurrence to result availability) and Query Latency (time to retrieve results from the system, e.g., querying a materialized view). Streaming databases like RisingWave aim to minimize both, providing low end-to-end processing latency via incremental computation and low query latency via pre-computed materialized views.
