Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore

SingleStore is our main database. We use it to serve our application including user and account information as well as millions and millions of rows of data that we gather every day. SingleStore has enabled us to only need one storage solution which simplifies our processes a lot. It has also enabled us to do very complex and computational intense queries on the fly to serve up results to our customers.

Pros

  • Ingesting large amounts of data relatively fast using pipelines.
  • Runs large/intense data analytical queries very fast and efficient.
  • Free Tier is nice to get started.

Cons

  • Customer Service tickets take way to long to get responses when something critical is breaking.
  • Pricing can at times be a bit unclear.
  • Pipelines are great but can be a bit of a black box.
  • It overall has reduced engineering time to implement new products.
  • It has improved our customer's experience with our application be reducing load times.
  • It has reduced the complexity of data fetching queries.
I give SingleStore a high rating for performance for several reasons. One being its ability to query very large datasets very quickly and efficiently. It's ability to do complex aggregations and analytics are large amounts of data quickly is amazing. Ingestion performance is also very good and fast and can handle millions of data points daily.
This was one of the main selling points for us on SingleStore. The ability to replace all of our databases into one has been a large improvement for us. This has improved our ability to quickly iterate on our application. Its much easier to manage what data we have and monitor our systems from one place.
SingleStore is just a bigger engine with more capability. Its ability to handle larger data sets with ease is its biggest advantage. These other database solutions are great for smaller scale projects that don't include large data sets but Singlestore greatly out performs in scalability and performance with a lot of data.

If you need 1 database to handle all your use cases SingleStore works great. Enabling you to store user/account information on the same database as analytical time-series data is game changing. If you don't have large amounts of data that you need to run very fast analytical queries then SingleStore is probably a bit overkill for your use case.
