Summary

SingleStore Kai is now generally available (GA) on top of SingleStore 8.5, enabling MongoDB client applications to use SingleStore by deeply integrating the BSON data type with the engine. This integration achieves better compatibility and performance for query patterns used by MongoDB client applications. The new feature supports additional leaf data types, ordered maps, and binary encoding, while also addressing limitations such as top-level values. Using SingleStore Kai, tables created with the format use the BSON format by default, allowing for fast insertion and retrieval of data. The feature optimizes the entire lifecycle of BSON data in SingleStore, including validation, storage, and reconstruction, enabling predictably low-latency applications and accelerated analytics. With ROWSTORE tables, data is kept in memory in BSON format, ready to send back to the client immediately, while Universal Storage tables compress data after loading a million rows, resulting in significant compression ratios and economized storage usage. SingleStore Kai is integrated into SingleStore Helios cloud, offering a free Shared Tier with easy setup, migration, and query execution directly in the cloud portal.
