Summary

The trend of using multiple special-purpose databases to support modern applications' data-intensive requirements is overstated and unnecessary. In most cases, a single modern, scalable relational database can meet the needs of an application. The plethora of open-source data tools has led to a bewildering number of choices, making it difficult for developers to navigate and choose the right technology. This complexity leads to increased investigation time, vendor management issues, specialized engineers, complicated integrations, performance bottlenecks, and troubleshooting difficulties. A single NewSQL database like SingleStore can provide the necessary functionality, scalability, and ease of use to support most applications' requirements, making it a more practical choice than using multiple special-purpose databases.
