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 enterprise 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.

Note

Only your database users will have permissions to access your database in a Starter Workspace.

Upgrades to Standard and Enterprise Workspaces

SingleStore is working on providing a UI to upgrade your Starter Workspace to a Standard Workspace.

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.
