SingleStore has been designed and developed as a distributed relational database that brings the effectiveness of the relational database model into the new world of the cloud, containers, and other software-defined infrastructure. As a cloud-native database, it is designed from the ground up to take advantage of cloud computing architectures and automated environments, leveraging API-driven provisioning, auto-scaling, and other operational functions. SingleStore's unique internal architecture gives it both scalability inherent to the cloud and support for SQL for transactions and analytics. It has been running in containers for a long time and uses containerized environments for testing. The database provides command-line tools that integrate easily with on-premises deployment tools and cloud deployment mechanisms, making it crucial to its inclusion as cloud-native software. SingleStore is not limited to cloud applications but can be deployed anywhere - in public cloud providers, modernized data centers, and increasingly at the edge. Its flexibility and portability create a capability that hasn't been available before, with features such as container-friendliness, full scalability, Kafka and Spark integration, microservices support, and more. SingleStore's architecture allows for unbeatable performance and effortless scale, especially when paired with elastic cloud infrastructure, making it an ideal choice for customers looking to modernize their data infrastructure.
