SingleStore's chief product officer, Jordan Tigani, discussed the need for speed in financial services at a recent DATAcated virtual event. He highlighted how SingleStore is uniquely positioned to execute data-intensive tasks at almost impossible-to-imagine speeds. This is particularly important in applications such as real-time fraud detection, portfolio management, and building rich customer experiences that provide real-time recommendations. Data-intensive applications require fast, reliable access to data for making decisions, with latency being a critical factor. Jordan explained how SingleStore's in-memory database can process transactions at sub-millisecond speeds, scale to handle myriad concurrent users, and use resources efficiently. This makes it an ideal solution for large ride-sharing companies, top-tier banks, and major internet companies that require fast data analysis and reporting capabilities.
