SingleStoreDB Self-Managed 7.0 introduces fast synchronous replication and incremental backups to support system of record capability, a key requirement for transactional databases. Synchronous replication ensures that transactions are persisted to disk before being acknowledged, providing an additional layer of data safety. Incremental backups allow for more frequent backups without significant performance impact. The new features enable SingleStoreDB Self-Managed 7.0 to offer a viable alternative for Tier 1 workloads and provide unprecedented design and operational simplicity, lower costs, and higher performance for a wide range of workloads.
