Grab has introduced a FlinkSQL interactive solution to enhance real-time stream processing for data analytics, addressing previous challenges with Zeppelin notebooks. The new architecture streamlines the user experience by integrating a shared FlinkSQL gateway, which reduces query lead times and simplifies the deployment of streaming pipelines, thereby democratizing data access and empowering teams to leverage real-time insights effectively.

Rill is a business intelligence tool that allows data engineers and analysts to create fast, self-service dashboards directly from raw data lakes, using its embedded in-memory database for rapid querying. It supports various data sources and provides a metrics layer for standardized business metrics, enabling real-time insights and integration with AI systems. Rill emphasizes ease of use with features like SQL-based definitions, YAML configuration, and Git integration for version control.
