Continuous Aggregation on GreptimeCloud - GreptimeCloud Update 4

A recap of the past several weeks progress and changes happened on GreptimeCloud.

Continuous aggregation is coming to GreptimeCloud Serverless. The feature was first introduced in Greptime OSS version 0.8, and also known as light-weighted streaming.

Before continuous aggregation, you will need to run the queue periodically to get the aggregation results. This can introduce latency and waste a lot of compute resource if multiple calls are issued. Continuous aggregation allows you to define a materialized view, which has a query associated with it. When new data is coming in, we automatically update the result and cached it in materialized view that is available for query without additional computation.
