About the company
Sparking creativity, inspiration and evolution among every maker in the world. What does real time mean to you? Is it the driver information you get within seconds of a ride-share app request? Is it the immediate alert that your bank has detected fraudulent activity? Or is it the personalized recommendations you get on your favorite streaming services as soon as you’ve finished watching another show? SingleStore (formerly MemSQL) was founded to help organizations and enterprises do the previously unthinkable: Unify transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) processing in a single, powerful data engine that delivers the ability to transact, analyze, reason and contextualize data in real time — while powering the applications and analytics users expect to keep their worlds moving.
