Our story

Feldera was born from a shared vision among a group of researchers who, since 2018, have been deeply entrenched in the challenges of incremental computation. Across various fields—ranging from data infrastructure to security products—we saw a recurring pattern: ad-hoc solutions were repeatedly crafted to tackle what were fundamentally incremental computation problems. These solutions were almost always brittle, hard to maintain, performed poorly, and crippled product velocity. Determined to address
"Our technology has been running in production at VMware since 2021..."
this, we teamed up to advance the state-of-the-art and state-of-practice for robust incremental computation. Our technology has been running in production at VMware since 2021. That experience in turn led to DBSP, our award-winning research on incremental computation for query languages like SQL. Inspired by these successes, we founded Feldera to democratize this technology and help engineers solve the toughest data problems without being held back by the limitations of legacy compute infrastructure.
