Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore

SingleStore has allowed us to simplify our analytical queries. It has allowed us to eliminate intensive jobs that compiled stats for the previous day and instead given us a way to run those same queries on demand eliminating discrepancies and giving our organization the ability to tackle any analysis without having worry about it impacting other aspects of our stack.

Pros

  • Statistical analysis
  • Data ingestion
  • S3 integration

Cons

  • Schema altering
  • Lucene engine column compatibility
  • Use as a primary transactional db
  • Replaced our costly nightly compilation jobs
  • Made statistical queries a viable option which has allowed us to add more insights to our product
  • No time lost recovering from old nightly job failures because we dont run compilation jobs
It is good at replication because its batched, but as a main source of transactional input it isnt an option for our volume. Analytical queries are magical.
It is piggy backed off of our rds instance so ot hasnt reduced sprawl but its benefits outweigh adding it to our tech stack

No

Yes

Did SingleStore live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SingleStore go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SingleStore again?

Yes

If analytical workloads are necessary this solves many problems and is a viable solution. It has lots of ways to ingest and export. Its not suitable as a heavy traffic transactional db, but as a piggy back it is ideal. It has been very reliable to boot, we love it!
