Dynamically changing, partially-stateful data-flow database written in Rust

  Some highlights: * Essentially a database that updates continuously materialized views upon write * For read heavy web applications * Speaks MySQL Protocol (caveats apply)

    "Essentially a database that updates continuously materialized views upon write" I do that now in my event-sourced application with stupid simple mysql. It is trivial to implement such functionality into the app layer and not into the storage where you are limited by the third party sw itself.

      Doesn't PostgreSQL support materialized views now, also? It's not just about MySQL.

      I think the difference is some algorithm magic that is doing diff rather than complete recalculations. Oh yes and it's in Rust, which is sexy.

  Rust at speed talk from jonhoo actually adds some context around this project. https://youtu.be/s19G6n0UjsM https://youtu.be/s19G6n0UjsM

    Noria looks very cool. A lot of engineering time is spent building by hand with kafka and microservices what Noria can seemly generate from a declarative create view statement. He also has some rust great live coding stuff on youtube.

  Claims to outperform Differential Dataflow[0] which underlies Materialize's[1] incremental materialized view product. Supports SQL out of the box. Definitely worth a deeper look. This is such an exciting area right now, I am envious of anybody writing streaming applications in five years time! 0: https://github.com/frankmcsherry/differential-dataflow https://github.com/frankmcsherry/differential-dataflow 1: https://materialize.io/ https://materialize.io/
