Overall Satisfaction with SingleStore (formerly MemSQL)

I'd be using SingleStore as the primary Database so as to handle real-time ingestion and analysis of data with big volume. The existing data model is working on processing batch data which is not much efficient and fast. I'll be ingesting the data from Kafka and because of the great compatibility of SingleStore with Kafka, I'll be using it to build reports on the top of the data.
  • super fast data ingestion and queries
  • commonly used formats such as csv, json and parquet are well supported
  • MySQL engine allowing the customers also to work easily
  • minimum administration needed
  • support team is quick and helpful
  • Every time i run a new query, it opens a new query result tab
  • Lot of RAM required while running Developer instances locally
  • limited information on the running queries
  • made the complex and compute intensive queries faster than ever
  • simple and easy to use UI which also increased customer satisfaction
much faster processing of queries than all above-listed databases and having the ability to scale up according to the workload.
Using SingleStore helped me decrease the latency by almost 20x. Horizontal Scaling is very effective.
Pefectly deals with ever-changing data and implementing real-time dashboards are much easier now.

Do you think SingleStore delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SingleStore's feature set?

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

It would be really fast for OLTP workloads as compared to MySQL and can be used in this use case. While working on large datasets, I've experienced that SingleStore has much faster processing capabilities and is highly recommended in such scenarios.
