Shared Edition

Note

This is a Preview feature.

SingleStore provides a free entry point to get started with SingleStore Helios for low-throughput and prototype applications. In the Shared Edition, users create a Starter Workspace to use SingleStore Helios. A Starter Workspace uses a shared-compute environment and allows users to create a single database for their needs. To learn more about Shared Edition limitations, see Configuration Limits for Starter Workspaces and Operational Limits for Starter Workspaces.

Considerations:

  • All Starter Workspaces deploy on the latest version of SingleStore; however, not all functionality included in the latest version is supported in the Shared Edition.

  • An organization can only create one Starter Workspace. Each Starter Workspace is allowed to have only one database.

  • Starter Workspaces can only be deployed in AWS US-EAST-1. If you require a deployment in a specific region of AWS, or in a different cloud provider (GCP, Azure), spin up a regular workspace in SingleStore standard or premium edition.

  • Starter Workspaces are not intended for Production use. Use a Standard Workspace for high-traffic, compute-intensive apps for production workloads. These workspaces support read-replicas, shared deployments, and have full-access to all our latest features.

  • Starter Workspaces are not intended for Benchmarking. Use a Standard Workspace to take full advantage of SingleStore's performance capabilities.

In the meantime, reach out to our team through the Chat feature in the Portal and we can help preserve your database as you upgrade to Standard.
