The core of all AI, business intelligence and applications is data — various bits and bytes that come in all different formats. Only when we sift through this data, reason with it and build on top of it in real time does it give way to vast amounts of information and knowledge. Real-time insights are key to the way we live our lives today; the way we entertain ourselves; the way we listen to music; the way we order groceries. Real-time insights keep your BI tools fresh; they keep your ride-sharing app with the most current price; and they ensure you never miss a fraudulent payment. SingleStoreDB is the world’s only database that empowers users to transact, analyze and contextualize data in real time. It empowers the world’s makers to build, deploy and scale modern, intelligent applications — backed by streaming data ingestion, a unique table type that supports both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads, limitless point-in-time recovery and a distributed (shared-nothing), MySQL-compatible architecture.
