> If you have ever babysat a REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW cron job, or faked live views with a pile of triggers, read that sentence again: our views update themselves, live. This is the feature Postgres users have quietly wanted for twenty years.

Real-time materialized views - so far mostly Chinese tech shops have solved this - look at Apache Doris, StarRocks - but these are built on top of MySQL then maybe RisingWave which is Postgres wire compatible.

having real-time materialized views means you can take out 1 or 2 infra pieces from your stack e.g Flink & Kafka - for some simplified use cases. that means no more ETL jobs for some use cases.
