Very Happy With SingleStore
Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore (formerly MemSQL)
We use it to hold and query real estate listings in four states. This is the engine behind our website's and mobile app's main feature - property search. The queries have geospatial criteria. Because of the volume of records and complexity of queries, MemSQL was an obvious choise for it's performance. Now, as SingleStore offers collumnar storage, we can use it for other things like analytics and reporting.
Pros
- Scaling - columnar storage makes it easy to scale without cost or signifigant performance hits
- Speed - where performance is an issue, we can keep the data in RAM
- Simplified management - Love MemSQL's web UI to manage clusters
Cons
- I'm fine here - I think Single store is addressing needs (Managablility, Flexible maintenance windows, responsive tech support) nicely
- I suppose reliability is an issue. I see the few causes behind this get fixed quickly and the platform becomes more dependable as it matures
- We're slowly migrating off Redshift, Aurora and SQL Server
- Reporting systems are becoming more real-time
- Azure SQL Database, Amazon Aurora and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
MemSQL (Single Store) just has the performance at scale we need - no competition
Predictive Analytics is still coming soon for us.
