Key takeaways
This session introduced several innovations that make SingleStore an even more powerful tool for enterprises:
- Vector search and real-time analytics. SingleStore has made significant strides in enhancing vector search capabilities, with over 20% of Helios users now leveraging this feature for rapid AI applications. Pro Max features resulted in sub-20-millisecond response times, making them ideal for applications requiring speed, like image and video recognition.
- Simplified data integration with SingleConnect. The acquisition of BryteFlow and the introduction of SingleConnect have expanded SingleStore's ability to integrate with over 50 new data sources, including critical application data from platforms like Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow. This enables faster time-to-market and more seamless data synchronization across enterprise systems.
- Building a unified data platform. Srinath's demo highlighted the ease of building and deploying interactive dashboards and APIs directly within SingleStore. Using tools like Plotly’s Dash for visualization and cloud functions, users can quickly create and publish applications that leverage real-time data — without leaving the SingleStore ecosystem.
- Focus on the developer experience. A recurring theme in the session was the focus on improving the developer experience through intuitive tools and interfaces. From simplifying pipeline setup with a UI to offering a one-click publishing feature for dashboards and APIs, SingleStore aims to make complex data interactions more accessible.
