Summary

SingleStore's latest release, version 7.5, is a pivotal moment in the database industry, offering a completely new approach to data management for ultra-fast ingest, low latency, high concurrency, and fast analytics capabilities.

Additionally, the release includes Universal Storage technology that supports analytical and transactional workloads in a single table, eliminating design tradeoffs for developers. Other enhancements include lock-free backup operations, new progress reporting capabilities, support for UTF8 4-byte characters, temporary stored procedures, JSON functions, and improved interpreter speed. Overall, this release delivers significant advances in supporting data-intensive applications on SingleStoreDB Self-Managed.
