Materialize documentation

Materialize is a real-time data integration platform that enables you to use SQL to transform, deliver, and act on fast changing data.

What’s new!

  • Self-managed Materialize v25.2, which includes support for password authentication (private preview), RBAC, and more! With Self-managed Materialize, you can deploy and operate Materialize in your Kubernetes environment. Self-managed Materialize is available in both Enterprise and Community editions. For more information, see the Self-managed Materialize documentation.

  • Materialize MCP Server. The Materialize MCP Server bridges SQL and AI by transforming indexed views into well-typed tools that agents can call directly. It lets you expose your freshest, most complex logic as operational data products automatically and reliably. For more information, see the Materialize MCP Server documentation.
