The mobile revolution is transforming our lives with GPS-enabled smartphones, with an estimated 2 billion subscribers expected to grow to 6.1 billion by 2020, providing a rich source of geospatial data that can be used to track movement and extract valuable insights for businesses. SingleStore is designed as a massively parallel scale-out solution for real-time analytics with built-in support for geospatial queries, offering strong transactional semantics and superior performance compared to ElasticSearch in certain use cases, such as updating vehicle geolocations and checking intersection of geolocations with geofences.
