Neon has introduced logical replication, enabling real-time data replication, which can be used to create interactive data applications and enhance customer experiences. By using Materialize, users can replicate data from Neon without overhauling their architecture. Materialize efficiently handles Change Data Capture (CDC) from PostgreSQL databases like Neon, offering complex data transformations using SQL while maintaining transactional consistency without additional infrastructure. The blog post provides a step-by-step guide on configuring logical replication in Neon and creating a CDC pipeline to replicate data into Materialize, which processes the data in real time. This setup allows users to perform operations on fresh data without the complexity and cost typically associated with analytical data warehouses or stream processors. The post encourages readers to explore how Materialize can improve their products and offers customer stories for further insights.
