We started SingleStore with a vision to enable every company to be a real-time enterprise, and to do that by delivering the leading real-time database for transactions and analytics. Since then, the forces shaping our digital economy have only added wind to our sails. The world is more mobile, interconnected, interactive, and on the cusp of several industry transformations such as the Internet of Things.

Launching Our Community Edition

Real-time processing is the secret to keeping up, and in-memory solutions are the foundation. Yet existing options have been too expensive or too complex for companies to adopt.

That changes today with the release of SingleStoreDB Self-Managed 4 and our new Community Edition, a free unlimited capacity, unlimited scale offering of SingleStore that includes all transactional and analytical features.

By sharing SingleStore capabilities with the world, for free, we expect many developers and companies will have a chance to explore what is possible with in-memory computing. As the pace of business advances, SingleStore will be there.
