Schedule

Materialize upgrades all regions to the latest release each week according to the following schedule:

Region Day of week Time
aws/eu-west-1 Wednesday 2100-2300 Europe/Dublin
aws/us-east-1 Thursday 0500-0700 America/New_York
aws/us-west-2 Thursday 0500-0700 America/New_York
NOTE: Upgrade windows follow any daylight saving time or summer time rules for their indicated time zone.

Upgrade windows were chosen to be outside of business hours in the most representative time zone for the region.

Materialize may occasionally deploy unscheduled releases to fix urgent bugs as well.

You can find details about upcoming and current maintenance on the status page. You can also use the status page API to programmatically access this information.

When your region is upgraded, you’ll experience just a few minutes of downtime. After the initial downtime, the new version of Materialize will begin rehydrating your indexes and materialized views. This takes time proportional to data volume and query complexity. Indexes and materialized views with large amounts of data will take longer to rehydrate than indexes and materialized views with small amounts of data. Similarly, indexes and materialized views for complex queries will take longer to rehydrate than indexes and materialized views for simple queries.

Versioning

Each release is associated with an internal version number. You can determine what release your Materialize region is running by executing:

SELECT mz_version();

Scheduled weekly releases increase the middle component of the version number and may change the final component to any number (e.g., v0.26.2 -> v0.27.0 or v0.26.2 -> v0.27.5). Unscheduled releases increase the final component of the version number (e.g., v0.27.0 -> v0.27.1).

Backwards compatibility

Materialize maintains backwards compatibility whenever possible. You can expect applications that work with the current version of Materialize to work with all future versions of Materialize with only minor changes to the application’s code.

Very occasionally, a bug fix may require breaking backwards compatibility. These changes are approved only after weighing the severity of the bug against the number of users that will be affected by the backwards-incompatible change. Backwards-incompatible changes are always clearly marked as such in the release notes.

There are several aspects of the product that are not considered part of Materialize’s stable interface:

These unstable interfaces are not subject to the backwards-compatibility policy. If you choose to use these unstable interfaces, you should be aware of the risk of backwards-incompatible changes. Backwards-incompatible changes may be made to these unstable interfaces at any time and without mention in the release notes.
