Is there a native SQL pipeline tool for ClickHouse that processes real-time data incrementally, with low latency, large throughput and high efficiency, similar to Snowflake’s Dynamic Tables?

Dynamic Tables are interesting for declarative streaming. In the ClickHouse ecosystem, you might want to look at materialized views combined with streaming engines.

For real-time transformations, there are a few approaches: - Native ClickHouse MaterializedViews with AggregatingMergeTree - Stream processors that write to ClickHouse (Flink, Spark Streaming) - Streaming SQL engines that can read/write ClickHouse

We've been working on streaming SQL at Proton (github.com/timeplus-io/proton) which handles similar use cases - continuous queries that maintain state and can write results back to ClickHouse. The key difference from Dynamic Tables is handling unbounded streams vs micro-batches.

What's your specific use case? Happy to discuss the tradeoffs.
