Summary

SingleStore has introduced a new feature called "bottomless" in its 7.5 release, which enables separation of storage and compute in databases, similar to the way consumers can store and access photos in the cloud. This allows for low-latency transactions and improved performance for data-intensive applications. By storing only the data being queried and separating compute from storage, SingleStore aims to provide a more efficient and scalable solution than traditional database approaches. The feature is designed to benefit real-world applications, such as analytics, by eliminating the need for backups and reducing latency associated with transactions.
