We love hosting meetups at SingleStore headquarters. Meetups give us a hands-on way to share what we have been working on, connect with the community, and get in-person feedback from people like you.
Last year we hosted meetups spanning topics from building real-time data pipelines to powering geospatial dashboards. We wanted to share a few highlights from our most memorable meetups in 2016.
