ClickHouse's refreshable materialized views offer a new approach to managing data updates by allowing users to set specific refresh intervals directly within ClickHouse, thereby reducing reliance on external orchestration tools like cron jobs and dbt pipelines. Unlike traditional incremental materialized views, which only update with new data inserts and require complex manual interventions for changes, the refreshable views provide more flexibility by enabling periodic refreshes and synchronization of dependent tables through the DEPENDS ON clause. This functionality allows for the creation of Directed Acyclical Graphs (DAGs) that ensure data consistency and streamline operations by skipping refreshes if source data updates fail. While these new features don't replace the efficiency of incremental views or the full complexity of dbt, they offer a balance between real-time streaming and traditional batch processing capabilities, allowing users to choose the appropriate level of complexity for their needs.
