Case Study: Flare builds a live data layer on Materialize for 10x faster queries

Key results

The challenge

Flare's microservices architecture created operational data silos that slowed innovation and made it hard to build real-time, data-driven features. The company needed to unify live data across multiple systems without sacrificing microservice independence.

The solution

Flare implemented Materialize as a live data layer, ingesting change data from microservices and Salesforce and using dbt to build canonical business objects in SQL that update within seconds and serve applications over PostgreSQL.

The results, in context

Flare reported 10x faster query performance powering responsive in-app experiences, with unified live data from microservices and Salesforce available within seconds.
