SingleStore Valuable Features

Kelvin  Ben - PeerSpot reviewer

Senior Software Engineer at Honeywell

The best features SingleStore offers include fast data recovery and data compression by 80 percent. Having the information in sheets helps me to process the information quickly. Simplicity in T-SQL is another aspect I appreciate.

Data recovery and sheet-based processing help my team on a day-to-day basis by enabling us to handle information efficiently.

I would like to add that the data compression by 80 percent helps us in an excellent way since we are very fast in obtaining the data for our dashboards and the compression of the information is great.

SingleStore has impacted my organization positively by enabling us to run low-latency analytics and model-driven use cases at scale, which is quite difficult for OLAP and OLTP databases alone. It has been very helpful because our internal clients are happy to have the data and make data-driven decisions easily. Making decisions based on data within a two-hour delay to the transactional database is excellent since we went from twenty-four hours to two hours. I think the best contribution is decision-making with data that is close to reality.

Reducing that delay from twenty-four hours to two hours has significantly affected my team and business outcomes by increasing productivity. We have been able to serve all our customers, and they are very happy. We can deliver to them on time.

The pipeline to Kafka and AWS are very helpful for us, which is a main scenario for many SingleStore users, and being an in-memory database allows for full tables to be stored in memory for very fast access. Additionally, the ability to use disk-based column stores to handle very large amounts of data that cannot fit into memory is also great. A very nice and useful feature is its compatibility with MySQL API, letting any system that can connect to MySQL also connect to SingleStore, thus solving many interoperability issues with different systems.

The memory database is really very important for us because we have some relatively large tables that need very fast access, fast queries, and even fast writes, making memory tables convenient and allowing us to produce very high throughput. On the other hand, we have some very large data tables, data warehouse styles that should not and do not fit into memory, where we usually use disk-based column stores, allowing us to store very large amounts of data and only stream some of them to the memory tables.

Some of the most valuable features that SingleStore offers are its speed and scalability, delivering fast query performance even with large datasets and supporting real-time analytics with very low latency. I also appreciate how it handles both transactional and analytical workloads on a single platform, reducing the complexity of the data we deal with.

SingleStore's speed and scalability have made a significant difference for our team. For example, we use SingleStore to store all our customers' data into a database. The biggest impact happened when the data started growing significantly; previously, the query performance and dashboard response times were slow because the fetches were slow. With SingleStore, we scaled without major performance issues, and reports, dashboards, and data segments that previously took much longer to generate are now produced in real-time. The fetches are very fast, which overall improves the user experience and helps teams access insights faster for operational and decision-making.

SingleStore has positively impacted my organization by improving performance, reducing query response times, and enabling faster access to business insights. It has helped our teams make quicker decisions with real-time data visibility, reducing the complexity of our systems and operational workloads.

We have noticed improvements in both productivity and operational efficiency as query execution times were significantly reduced. This means teams spend less time waiting for data and more time acting on insights. We also benefit from consolidating workloads into a single platform, which reduces infrastructure complexity, and overall resource utilization is good.

The best features SingleStore offers in my experience are the excellent team support and the very good UI.

What makes the support stand out to me is that the UI is interactive and intuitive for first-time users. The team is also good at resolving issues, and I can reach out to them directly by creating a ticket whenever I face any issues.

SingleStore has impacted my organization positively because the output and performance of the app have been improved. I measured that improvement through both faster search time and better user experience based on customer reviews.

Its in-memory storage, distributed architecture, scalability, and failover mechanisms collectively contribute to its exceptional performance and reliability, especially in demanding transactional environments like online and mobile banking systems. The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms. Even in scenarios where all servers experience downtime, it ensures data safety by maintaining a copy on disk.

It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data. I heard a client processed 3.5 billion records in seven minutes! Their data ingestion is very high, and SingleStore even markets itself as the world's fastest database.

The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed. Another noteworthy aspect of our experience is that, upon its setup, there aren't any issues that necessitate the intervention of a DBA. In terms of performance, it has proven impressive, particularly in handling complex joins without the need for data shortening. It excels in executing complex SQL operations swiftly.

The most valuable features are: 

  • MySQL drop-in solution: MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short. Developers were able to code against MemSQL the same day. They configured MemSQL in Docker and were up and running.
  • MemSQL built-in pipeline: You can connect MemSQL directly to an S3 bucket and it will ingest its data automatically. There is no need to create a lambda function. It just works. You can connect to Kafka, HDS, and other protocols.
  • Support for CTE, Window, Stored Procedures, functions (UDF, Table) are all included. MemSQL is a full-blown database solution. 
  • Replication: A MemSQL cluster can replicate to another cluster. This is a great feature, allowing you to have one cluster that does all the heavy work, and a Replica for reads. 
  • MemSQL supports high concurrency, and scaling horizontally is limitless.
  • I really like the MemSQL portal (portal.memsql.com). Creating more labs is the best way to introduce people to MemSQL.
