Currently, I can't think of any areas that require improvement because SingleStore was recently launched in the market.

The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings.

The current SingleStore model provides output based on the RANK function. If a user searches for a liquor bottle, then with all the data the product has, it will search for the liquor bottle in the data, and based on a match, the product has an algorithm to rank the product because of which the paragraph that has the best match will be ranked as a 100, the next one as 99, following which the next product will be ranked as 98 and so on. The output from the solution will fetch you all the 100 products that are available in a store, but sometimes a user might require a product with a 97 or 98 percent match from the DB, meaning the product doesn't always work to provide a 100 percent match, an area I feel that can be optimized in the product.

Currently, SingleStore's features are excellent as it can read documents, images, and everything. The product works seamlessly for me.

There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great. 

MySQL to MemSQL replication would be great. If it could replicate from MySQL then this would allow me to move all of the heavy counts, full-text search, aggregate, and analytical queries off of MySQL. We would not need many replicas, and you could have near-real-time (less than a few seconds) data you that can report on, and generate these reports in less than a few seconds.

The critical challenge involves optimizing the distribution of data across partitions through careful design of the sharing key. Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally. Intricate use cases, especially those involving joins across multiple tables, pose challenges if sharing and distribution are not well-aligned. Unlike traditional databases where indexing may suffice, SingleStore may require redistributing the entire dataset, presenting a persistent challenge.

There's a noteworthy consideration when it comes to collecting massive amounts of data. It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks. Attempting to use it for direct extraction, for instance, might lead to memory-related challenges. While MySQL version five might lack extensive SQL capabilities, SingleStore also has its constraints, requiring simpler SQL writing. This becomes evident when seeking advanced functionalities like window functions or JSON functions, where SingleStore doesn't offer an extensive toolkit, necessitating a more straightforward approach to SQL.

For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback. 

Also, technically,  SingleStore needs more features on the SQL part. Most SQL boards work in MySQL, and SingleStore integrated all its sequel with MySQL, so nearly 99% of MySQL code runs on SingleStore. But features like TVF and UDL lack depth. Users have to walk into it, and SingleStore has minimal features there.

IUDF, TVF, and stored procedures are not as advanced as SQL Server's. That's one thing I would like to see improved. 

We don't get good discounts in Pakistan. 

The documentation has room for improvement. There is not a large active community.

I would like to have step-by-step documentation to assist even a novice with installation.

Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial. At present, there are numerous steps required to configure and migrate pipelines.
