The proliferation of analytical dashboards in enterprises has led to a growing demand for faster performance, as end-users increasingly rely on real-time insights to inform business decisions. However, legacy data systems and modern single-purpose databases often struggle to handle the concurrency demands of fastboards, resulting in slow rendering times and "loading" pinwheels. The emergence of streaming data has further exacerbated this issue, as users expect real-time data pipelines and operational dashboards that can support both historical and predictive analytics. Modern data platforms aim to address these challenges by offering scalable, general-purpose databases built for fast data ingestion and limitless amounts of users. Singlestore Helios is a distributed, highly-scalable, cloud-native SQL database designed specifically for fastboards, enabling high-performance ingest, predictable capabilities, and scalable analytics. It supports various types of dashboards, including real-time analytics, operational BI, historical reporting, ML-driven analytics, and ad-hoc data discovery, empowering modern data platforms to achieve faster, more informed decisions and improved customer experiences.
