Materialize! It is a streaming database that takes data coming from different sources like Kafka, PostgreSQL, S3 buckets, and more and allows users to write views that aggregate/materialize that data and let you query those views using pure SQL with very low latency.

Looks great, do you mind sharing the condition to use this database ? Do you recommend it ?

Yes I strongly recommend it.

To start experimenting with it, you can run it directly on your laptop as described here:

materialize.com/docs/get-started/

Or you could sign up for a free cloud account here:

materialize.com/materialize-cloud-...

Just want to ask for your opinion, does it have the same purpose as like InfluxDB or TimeScaleDB ?
