Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore

We use singlestoreDB as our landing storage for our product. Our product provides insights in data and quality of data. For that we require fast ingestion feom sources like S3, GCS and Azure Blob. We extensively use singlestoreDB's PIPELINE function for ingesting data into SingleStoreDB. We ran our ML algorithms on the data stored on singlestoreDB. Which gave us really good results and helped optimize our algorithms by using some of its inbuilt features
  • Data ingestion from object stores
  • Storing data in row and columnar store
  • Data ingestion from S3 to singlestoreDB takes 6secs for 550K records with 30 columns
  • Data ingestion from JDBC sources
  • More robust and easy to use Integration with tools like spark
  • More options for setting up and doing PoC with singlestoreDB
  • singlestoreDB has definitely helped us to improve user experience by allowing us to query and return data at much faster rate
  • By using pipeline function of singlestoreDB we have lowered our operational complexity of extract and load process
I have used alot of ETL tools
I have even built spark based ETL scripts but using singlestoreDB's PIPELINE function makes it all easy.
Ingestion of data already present at file storage systems like S3 or GCS or Azure Blob is much much easier.
The set-up of a pipeline is really is easy to do and you can even set it to run in intervals with the requirements of your system

We use singlestoreDB for our products backend
We use it to store our user data as well the data on which we perform data quality checks with our ML algorithms.
By doing this we saved the cost of maintaining different database systems for our products data and the user input data on which we perform operations.
