Write complex SQL queries.
Add data from a message bus like Kafka.
Your SQL views stay incrementally updated within milliseconds.
At millions of updates per second.
No manually glueing streams. No writing imperative code.
Declare what you want in SQL. Materialize keeps it up to date. Within milliseconds.
No "inspired by SQL" half-broken query languages. Materialize supports ANSI Standard SQL 92. Use a SQL shell or your favorite database adapter.
No page-long caveats about eventual consistency and out-of-order execution. Materialize results are always consistent and always up-to-date. Pretend that we reran every query every message.
Materialize is built on top of Timely Dataflow, which is distributed. Materialize also adds active-active cluster replication for fault tolerance, and autoscalingorchestration.
Scale up: process millions of messages per second on a single-digit number of machines. Scale down: run Materialize on your laptop with a single binary on a single core. It's not just fast, it's also lean.
Materialize is built on top of a powerful stream processing engine: Timely Dataflow. Inspired by the award-winning Naiad project, Timely Dataflow has been in open-source development for 4 years and runs in production deployments at scale.
