Frank McSherry's personal technical blog, hosted as a GitHub repository, covering topics like timely dataflow, differential dataflow, Datalog, columnar layouts, and Materialize. It is a collection of research notes and essays rather than usable software.
Use cases
- learn how timely dataflow and differential dataflow work
- read about worst-case optimal Datalog joins
- understand columnar data layouts and vectorized execution
- follow research on streaming and incremental computation
- find deep dives on Materialize internals
- study database query processing techniques
When to choose
- you want in-depth explanations of dataflow and Datalog concepts from their original author
- you are researching incremental view maintenance or stream processing theory
- you want readable essays on database engine internals
When to avoid
- you need runnable software or a library to install
- you want a maintained tool with a license and releases
- you need beginner-friendly tutorials rather than research-level notes
