Feldera

Incremental view maintenance engine for SQL
Feldera builds what it calls the first enterprise-ready incremental view maintenance (IVM) engine: it converts arbitrary SQL programs into incremental programs that compute only over the data that changed, so cost scales with the size of the change rather than the size of the dataset. It is built on DBSP (Database Stream Processing), the award-winning research framework the founding team created inside VMware Research, which gives a mathematical guarantee that incremental results match a full recomputation. The company reports customers cutting warehouse compute bills by 95% or more and bringing view freshness down from hours or days to seconds, plugging into existing warehouses and lakehouses without rewrites. Production uses include real-time fraud detection, large-scale logistics views and fine-grained authorization for AI agents — Auth0 uses it to precompute more than 7 billion permission checks. Founded in 2023 in San Francisco by five former VMware researchers with over 200 published papers between them.
