About SingleStore Helios

On this page

SingleStore Helios is a database platform built to enable developers to build and power intelligent applications. 

From customer-facing SaaS platforms to internal operational intelligence, SingleStore is specifically designed to deliver low latency, high concurrency, and scalability to many of the world's largest enterprises.

This is possible because of a Distributed SQL architecture, support for relational and multi-model data, and a unified storage engine able to handle transactional and analytical workloads simultaneously.

SingleStore Helios can be deployed in AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Design Principles

SingleStore Helios is a SaaS data platform designed to deliver extremely low latency and high concurrency to power many of the world's most scalable applications. Using a modern Distributed SQL architecture, SingleStore adheres to structured design principles to ensure seamless and highly performant operation.

Query Execution

SingleStore parameterizes and compiles queries to machine code on primary execution, allowing repeat operations to deliver extreme performance. For more details on query execution take a look at how common execution patterns are handled in a distributed system.

High Availability & Data Sharding

SingleStore handles data availability by ensuring no single point of failure. Data is sharded within the cluster, and the storage engine ensures high availability and automatic failover in the event underlying cloud instances fail. All of this operates transparently, to ensure data is always available to mission-critical applications.

Shared Responsibility Model

As a SaaS service, SingleStore Helios operates using a shared responsibility model. Users are responsible for their applications, users, and using best practices for securing access to their data. SingleStore is responsible for the deployment, operation, and support of the data platform.

SingleStore has industry-leading security certifications including ISO/IEC 27001, SOC Type 2, and Privacy Shield. It is also fully compliant with CCPA, GDPR, and HIPAA requirements.
