Materialize is a streaming database powered by [Timely](https://github.com/TimelyDataflow/timely-dataflow#timely-dataflow) and [Differential Dataflow](https://github.com/timelydataflow/differential-dataflow#differential-dataflow), purpose-built for low-latency applications. It lets you use SQL to ask complex questions about your data, and then updates the results of your SQL queries incrementally as the underlying data changes.
Materialize is a **data warehouse** purpose-built for **operational workloads**
where an analytical data warehouse would be too slow, and a stream processor
would be too complicated.

## Get data in

Materialize can read data from [Kafka](https://materialize.com/docs/sql/create-source/kafka/) and [Redpanda](https://materialize.com/docs/integrations/redpanda/), as well as directly from a [PostgreSQL](https://materialize.com/docs/sql/create-source/postgres/) replication stream. It also supports regular database tables to which you can insert, update, and delete rows.

## Transform, manipulate, and read your data

Once you've got the data in, define views and perform reads via the PostgreSQL protocol. Use your favorite PostgreSQL CLI, including the `psql` you probably already have on your system.
