SingleStore
The real-time AI database for enterprise. Answers included.
SingleStore is a distributed SQL database that combines transactional and analytical workloads in one engine, along with AI context, so applications and agents can read and write live data without moving it between systems. It supports MySQL wire compatibility, ANSI SQL, and multi-model capabilities including relational, JSON, time-series, full-text search, vector, and geospatial data.
Key features include Universal Storage for unified operational and analytical tables, SingleStore Pipelines for ingestion from S3, Kafka, HDFS, and Iceberg, plus CDC from MySQL and MongoDB. Aura Intelligence provides Analyst, a natural-language query interface, and a Context Engine that maps data relationships for AI agents. SingleStore Flow handles no-code data migration, and Code Engine supports Wasm-based functions. Deployment options include Helios Cloud on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, or self-managed installations.
SingleStore targets data engineers, SaaS builders, and enterprises across industries such as finance, healthcare, and technology. Helios Cloud offers a free workspace for evaluation, a Standard edition for production workloads, a BYOC option, and an Enterprise edition with enhanced disaster recovery and security features, billed on a usage basis. Self-managed deployments are also available.
