They have a bit about their technical foundation here[0].
Given that Readyset was co-founded by Jon Gjengset (but has apparently since departed the company), who authored the paper on Noria[1], I would assume that Readyset is the continuation of that research. I wouldn't call that "just" incremental view maintenance, as it's a lot more involved than the simplest implementation of IVM (though obviously that is the end-goal).
So it shares some roots with Materialize. They have a common conceptual ancestry in Naiad, where Materialize evolved out of timely-dataflow.

- Jonhoo 3y agoJust poking my head in to say that I technically never departed ReadySet — what happened was that I co-founded the company, but was so burnt-out when it came to databases after my PhD that I decided to leave the running of the company to others. Then, US visa regulations made it so that I couldn't really be involved _at all_ if I wasn't an actual employee, which meant I truly was "just a founder" with no real involvement in the company's execution if you will. Now that I'm back in Europe, that's changing a bit, and I have regular calls with the CEO and such!
- AYBABTME 3y agoThanks so much for your work! Visa problems are a bane on the US. I hope that this situation will improve for you and get better in the future.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoWow, uh, Noria got listed a bunch of times looking back in search. https://hn.algolia.com/?q=noria https://hn.algolia.com/?q=noria (It turns into Nokia results part way through page 2, but still a lot of submissions!)
