(Sponsored session) Operationalizing Pluralsight's Data with Materialize

Streaming systems are a powerful tool that unlock real-time analytics and applications within organizations. But, they come at a cost: it often takes a team of experts a considerable amount of time to set these systems up, operate them in production, and make meaningful changes to the underlying business logic.

When Pluralsight noticed the high cost and slow time to value of their real-time data products, they knew they needed a new tool for the job. Enter Materialize, the first operational data warehouse. Materialize makes many of the benefits of popular streaming systems available through a simpler, higher-level interface: SQL. Using Materialize, complex and expensive data pipelines can be swapped out for incrementally-maintained materialized views.

In this talk, we'll present how Pluralsight is replacing streaming systems with an operational data warehouse for their real-time use cases. Today, Materialize powers Pluralsights Plan Analytics and core data models for their content offerings. Looking forward, the Pluralsight team plans to use Materialize for all of their real-time, user-facing applications.
