In general, it can be used to create and maintain continually updated materialized views in Vitess, without having to resort to manual or trigger-based population of the view content. It can be used as a more general way to achieve something similar to MoveTables, or as a way to generate materialized views of a table (or set of tables) in the same or different keyspace from the source table (or set of tables). Materialize is a new VReplication workflow in Vitess 6. The commands in this guide also assumes you have setup the shell aliases from the example, e.g. Make sure you have only run the “101” step of the examples, for example 101_initial_cluster.sh in the local example.

Please make sure that you have an Operator or local installation ready. This guide follows on from the Get Started guides.
