Everyone wants to plant a flag. We've been building the foundation for years. True to this. Not new to this. 🔒 #SummitWithoutSeams

🚀 Millions of engineers use databases. Few ever build one. We're about the engine, not just the interface. Our CEO Raj Verma on building the infrastructure powering the AI era 👇 🔗 hubs.la/Q04n6WZR0 🔗 Careers: hubs.la/Q04n71jd0 #hiring

The model was never the whole system. AI without context is just guessing. #EnterpriseAI needs: → Information → Context → Action And it all has to happen in real time. Our CEO Raj Verma explains why the industry is finally catching up. singlestore.com/blog/enterpris…

There’s a narrative forming in the data world that if you have enough data, the lakehouse is the obvious place to put it. Open formats, cheap storage, shared access across tools. These are real advantages, and for the right workloads, the model works extremely well. But that narrative tends to blur an important distinction. Storage has largely been solved, yet what actually determines whether a platform works in practice is how it behaves when the data is used—when it’s being queried, updated, and expected to respond under load. That’s where the gap between storage and execution becomes clear. Lakehouses become much more powerful when paired with an execution layer designed for low-latency, high-concurrency workloads. 👉singlestore.com/blog/the-lake-…

Lisbon, we’re coming 🇵🇹 At SingleStore, we’re drawn to people with endless curiosity, a passion for excellence, and the resilience to power through the toughest challenges. We’re hiring engineers to work on real-time data, distributed systems, and the infrastructure powering modern apps. Proud sponsors of SINFO — come meet the team at #SINFO33 and let’s talk about what you could build with us 🚀

SingleStore is proud to sponsor #GoogleCloudNext 2026 🚀 Meet us at Booth #6301 in Las Vegas, April 22–24, and see how real-time data + a unified database power faster decisions, smarter apps, and AI at scale. #SingleStore

A “quick” follow-up question should not stall a portfolio review while the dashboard spins and everyone wonders if the data is current. In financial services, slow dashboards erode confidence exactly when advisors, risk teams, and executives need real-time insight. In his new blog, Justin Strnatko explains why traditional stacks struggle with live data, usage spikes, and direct query BI — and how #SingleStore delivers fast, fresh queries at scale without layers of caches, extracts, or custom pipelines. Read the full story and see how to design your own real‑time evaluation. 👉 hubs.la/Q04c7Zkr0

A great night last week at the SAP Center in San Jose hosting customers in a premium suite for the Chicago Blackhawks vs. San Jose Sharks game. 🏒🦈 Thanks to everyone who joined us for great conversation, great company, and an awesome night of hockey!

POV: Your data is this majestic full moon. Most databases see a blurry dot and call it a night. SingleStore? Sees every crater, every glow and delivers insights before you finish saying ‘real-time analytics’.

Revenue leaders don’t struggle with a lack of data – they’re drowning in numbers they don’t trust. End result 👉 long forecast calls, side spreadsheets & slow decisions.

@SandipSwain @arpit_bhayani Glad to hear that, Sandip! 🙌

@arpit_bhayani @SingleStoreDB is good option, i think it is doing good so far in my project

Counting things seems simple, but at scale, how you count becomes an architecture decision. Here's a quick write-up on the need for columnar systems... Not counting like "how many signups today?" Counting like "for every user, across every product, across billions of usage events this month, what exact amount do we owe them?" The answer has to be right every single time. No approximations. Most systems start with a row-based database like MySQL or Postgres. Data is stored row by row, so each record contains all its fields together. This works well for transactional workloads. You insert an event, update a record, fetch a user - all efficient because everything you need is in one place. But aggregation is different. If you want to compute something like "total usage per user this month", a row-based system has to scan full records across the dataset, even though only a few columns are relevant. As data grows, this becomes increasingly expensive. Columnar databases take a different approach. Instead of storing data row by row, they store it column by column. All values for a single field are stored together. So when you run an aggregation like "sum usage grouped by user", the system scans only the required columns, not entire rows. This unlocks a few important advantages: - less data read from disk - better compression (similar values stored together) - vectorised execution over batches of values - easier parallelisation across large datasets The result is much faster performance for large-scale analytical queries. The tradeoff is that columnar systems are not optimised for row-by-row operations. Inserting or updating individual records is less efficient compared to row-based systems. So the distinction is simple: - Row-based databases are built for transactions. - Columnar databases are built for aggregations. Hope this helps.
