We were able to build more confidence in our ability to provide a platform we could grow with that could operate cost-effectively at scale. SingleStore struck the right balance of performance, cost, expressiveness and partnership.

We evaluated SingleStore against MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Druid. We have also quickly looked at ClickHouse and Pinot. We found SingleStore was a polished installation and operation was a breeze. That, coupled with the great performance, led us to select SingleStore very quickly in our evaluation.

Huge win for @Monitor_Base today. A PHP process doing 10-15 million records with 100s of columns and 8 joins used to take us 24-48 hours to process. Moved it all to SQL on @SingleStoreDB ...less than 10 minutes. It's a new age.

Backup and restore

As data sets grow, MySQL's backup/restore times (especially logical) can become an operational challenge.

SingleStore offers a more distributed, parallel backup/restore workflow, significantly reducing downtime and time-to-recovery for large-scale, high-throughput environments.

Step 1

Set up a link to your MongoDB® instance

1db.runCommand({2    createLink: "myLink",3    uri: "mongodb+srv://admin:<password>@cluster0.gsdas.example.com?retryWrites=true&w=majority",4});

This uses Change Data Capture (CDC) to ingest historical data and sync the continuous changes.

Step 2

Change the endpoint to SingleStore Kai

1const mongoUri = "<your-kai-endpoint>";2
3mongoose.connect(mongoUri, {4  useNewUrlParser: true,5  useUnifiedTopology: true6})7  .then(() => {8      console.log("connected!");9  })10  .catch((err) => {11      console.error("connection error:", err);12  });

Change the URI in your app logic to use your new SingleStore Kai endpoint.

Step 3

Execute your query in Mongo syntax

1db.sales.aggregate([2  {3    $addFields: {4      totalRevenue: {5        $multiply: ["$price", "$quantity"]6      }7    }8  },9  {10    $group: {11      _id: "$category",12      totalRevenue: {13        $sum: "$totalRevenue"14      }15    }16  },17  {18    $sort: {19      totalRevenue: -120    }21  }22]);

You're all set! Enjoy much faster analytics queries on MongoDB!
