Pros and Cons

Very easy to configure the SingleStore database.
Loading data was extremely easy and super fast. I loaded millions of records and it took a few seconds.
SingleStore seems to be an ideal database for real-time dashboards.

Not too many issues. Only one aggregate function I ran in the database took more than a minute to run, otherwise, performance on queries for millions of records was great.

Return on Investment

Loading millions of records usually takes seconds in SingleStore.
Configuring clusters and databases is extremely easy in SingleStore.

I have worked with Postgres and Oracle before. Configuring Postgres has never been easy. I had several performance issues with oracle. But SingleStore was easy to configure and performance has been great even with large data.

Scalability

Implementing real-time dashboards was a challenge for us before. SingleStore has made it very easy to implement real-time dashboards and deal with data that changes very frequently.
