Well well well: www.crunchydata.com/blog/pg_incr... Incremental pipelines come to Postgres via Crunchy Data! This is like "dbt incremental", not true incremental view maintenance like @materialize.com or Snowflake's dynamic tables, but it's a neat step towards IVM.

The 6th (and last of 2024!) NYC Systems talks are next Thursday! We've got @jaronoff.com of Omlet and @benesch.bsky.social of Materialize speaking. :) nycsystems.xyz/december-202...
