Running SingleStore on Apple Silicon

Community Projects

Hey SingleStore community,

Like many of you I moved to Apple Silicon for my development workflow, taking advantage of the power gains that let me get stuff done quicker. During this transition I was also building my startup which utilised SingleStore for game analytics, however SingleStore doesn’t currently support Apple Silicon. Meaning I needed to endure latency hosting off a droplet.

As you can imagine, even 100ms of latency makes it harder to debug performant queries where speed matters.

Thankfully, I’ve managed to get a DIY solution built to try out SingleStore within an Apple Silicon environment, and just requires creating a virtual machine, the steps have been tried and tested and a blog has been posted to help others too.

Feel free to check it out!

(I should mention, this isn’t endorsed by SingleStore in any manner as it’s not officially supported, but the team are working hard towards an ARM version from what I’ve heard.)

Thanks for the blog post!

Did you experience any performance issues with this virtualization layer?

Is your CPU still high while the cluster is iddle? (had this issue with the Docker + clusterinabox image)

Thanks
