Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Materialized aggregation precomputes results; runtime aggregation computes on demand.
Deep explanation
Materialized aggregation stores computed summaries (like totals), reducing query time but requiring updates. Runtime aggregation calculates results at query time, ensuring freshness but increasing computation cost.
