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
