This resonates deeply — I've been building automation systems for Indian SMBs and the stale data problem is real. One client's inventory agent was making purchase decisions based on data that was already 6 hours old, leading to constant over-ordering. Switching to event-driven updates (even simple webhook-based ones) cut their excess inventory by ~30%. Curious whether you've seen materialized views handle well at the edge, especially for agents that need sub-second freshness in regions with inconsistent connectivity?
