SaaS applications like Instagram, FlightAware and Reddit even use Postgres. Postgres developers looooooooove Postgres, so much so that it’s the #4 database on TrustRadius and on ... Read More

Feed: SingleStore Blog. Author: . Veteran SingleStoreDB users take our elasticity for granted. SingleStoreDB is a true distributed database. It's easy to scale up, so you can handle increasing demands to process queries concurrently — for both transactions and analytics. Many application developers are still using single-box database systems and sharding data manually at the application level. That's not necessary with SingleStoreDB, which can save you many person-years of development time — letting you focus on the app, and not the data platform.Although we can stretch and grow with your workload, we're pushing to make our elastic scale easier and more ...

Feed: SingleStore Blog. Author: . In a database era dominated by data intensity, many organizations have come to a stark realization: their traditional, single-node databases no longer effectively scale to the demands of modern, data-intensive applications.To combat this issue, companies are taking steps to migrate their modern data applications to the cloud, powered by a distributed, relational database (like SingleStoreDB). Yet traditional data engines like Oracle and MySQL hit roadblocks in this process — namely, migrating and replicating databases from these legacy architectures to a modern platform can’t be done with legacy batch pipelines. The main challenge? Lengthy durations of ... Read More
