MySQL is a widely used open-source database with companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, and Netflix relying on it for their tech stacks, but its single-node architecture can become limiting when handling real-time analytics on rapidly changing data. SingleStoreDB offers a solution by providing MySQL compatibility, familiar SQL syntax, and features such as Pipelines that enable faster data loading at scale in parallel, making it easier to migrate from traditional databases like AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Azure MySQL, and others. The database also includes JSON support with over 15 functions for building, extracting, deleting, and displaying JSON data, allowing users to easily move their JSON data into SingleStoreDB using the MySQL CLI, SingleStoreDB Pipeline, or the portal UI.
