Incremental Computation in the Database
Incremental computation systems are used to make frequent compute-intensive tasks faster and more efficient in compilers, front-ends, and IDEs, but what does it look like at the data layer?
In this guide, we’ll ask the question “If incremental computation systems are more efficient and align with the real world, why aren’t they the default? We’ll answer that, plus you’ll learn:
what incremental computation is,
why databases need incremental compute and
what databases with an incremental compute system look like.
