I think it’s supposed to be an alternative to Flink SQL/Table API. The important part of Apache Flink is the stateful streaming and fault tolerance characteristics of Flink. This is not an alternative to Flink as a distributed runtime for event driven applications.

Proton does support stateful streaming processing and has fault toleratance. Proton save the state in memory and local file system. The cluster and HA features are in Timeplus Platform which build on top of Proton

yes, it's more an alternative to FlinkSQL. SQL is the main interface, and you can also build User-Defined Function with JavaScript, running in sandbox with V8. While Flink DataStream or Table API are powerful and flexible, you can easily setup Proton to learn or use streaming SQL, or query historical data. Thousands of ClickHouse functions are available to use. If you like ClickHouse or Redpanda, probably you will like Proton too.
