Manage sinks

To stream data out of RisingWave, you must create a sink. A sink refers to an external target that you can send data to. You can deliver data to downstream systems via our sink connectors.

For the complete list of supported sink connectors and data formats, see Data delivery in the RisingWave documentation.

Create a sink

You can create a sink with the guided setup in Data Catalog or by using SQL.

Data Security

• All data ingested through sources or sinks is encrypted in transit using TLS
• Data stored within RisingWave is encrypted at rest:
  • AWS S3: Using AWS default encryption keys
  • EBS volumes: Using KMS managed keys with automatic rotation

Using guided setup

1. Go to the RisingWave Cloud dashboard.
2. Open the cluster where you want to create the sink.
3. In the cluster navigation, click Data Catalog.
4. Select the Sinks tab, then click Create sink.
5. Select the destination service and the source table or materialized view.
6. Configure the sink settings, review the generated SQL, and click Create sink.

Using SQL command

Refer to CREATE SINK in the RisingWave Database documentation.

Check a sink

1. Go to the RisingWave Cloud dashboard.
2. Open the cluster.
3. Click Data Catalog in the cluster navigation.
4. Select the Sinks tab to view sinks.

Drop a sink

If you no longer need to deliver data to a sink, you can drop the sink using SQL command.

Refer to DROP SINK in the RisingWave Database documentation.
