Summary

Many organizations have relied on MySQL for their customer-facing applications, but as these apps continue to grow in complexity and scale, they are finding that traditional databases like MySQL are struggling to keep up. In response, companies are turning to distributed SQL databases like SingleStore, which can handle high transaction volumes and complex queries without compromising performance. By migrating from MySQL to SingleStore, organizations can unlock significant performance advantages, including faster data ingest, query latency, and concurrency. Several case studies, including Stream Hatchet and Fathom Analytics, demonstrate the ease of migration and the benefits of using SingleStore, which offers a range of tools and features to make the process as smooth as possible. With its multi-model support, native JSON document support, and efficient relational SQL capabilities, SingleStore is an attractive option for companies looking to upgrade their databases and improve their overall performance.
