Best in memory SQL offering available

MemSQL has helped us enable significant business value through a simplified data lake system. Large amounts of IOT data (trillions of rows) can be queried in milliseconds. In addition business databases with processes (running on similar hardware) that took hours to run and now running sub-second on MemSQL. The path to get to where we are was not easy, but MemSQL was alongside us all the way.

Best Distributed RDBMS Ever!

So far MemSQL was able to handle all types of workloads we applied to it, executing blazing fast queries against tables with real-time data ingestion. Some of the features we use and are extremely helpful are json support and full-text search, which allowed us to ingest millions of documents every day and run sophisticated dashboards against them

In-memory tables for high OLTP workloads, and on-disk columnar storage for OLAP workloads 5. Short learning curve. drop-in replacement to the famous MySQL DB 6. Full-text search 7. Free edition is available

Cons:

I really can't think of much here. I advise MemSQL to accelerate adding features to the MemSQL studio

Great replacement for Hadoop for a fraction of the cost

We needed freshly aggregated stats for our realtime bidding logs. Hadoop Hive was taking over 2 hours to perform the aggregation. After migration to MemSQL we were able to aggregate the stats within 20 minutes.

Functionality

Pros:

Deployment was quick and painless. Works well with existing SQL-based data pipelines. We replaced our expensive and difficult-to-maintain Hadoop cluster with MemSQL and a fraction of the cost.

Cons:

There were some stability issues early on with the product, however, the support team was proactive in addressing our issues and providing fixes in later releases. Synchronization with an external MySQL meta-database is not straightforward, and we had to build our own custom synchronization scripts.

Reasons for switching to SingleStore

Cost of maintaining a Hadoop cluster with 2 devops engineers.

Vendor Response

So glad you're getting such exceptional performance.

Pros:

It has faster query result in RDBMS platform along with high availability with the possibilities of loading data from different sources with real time data support. It has unique ingest capability to do parallel ingest of data from different sources with distributed and partition feature with M-S architecture. This standout SingleStore from others.

Cons:

I believe it should have better User interface to support dynamic query creation along with that if it provide powerful Data virtualization options that would be nice.
