This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up the environment, prepare data, and implement a Q&A system powered by local data and models. 173 2 2. 2 [](/posts/mysql-vs-postgresql-vs-singlestore-performance-in-docker-3qa2pusui "MySQL vs PostgreSQL vs SingleStore Performance in Docker") Article SingleStore · 1y MySQL vs PostgreSQL vs SingleStore Performance in Docker The post compares MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SingleStore using a benchmark with over 100 million transactions in Docker containers. The results show SingleStore has superior performance in handling complex queries involving heavy joins and analytics, while MySQL struggles and PostgreSQL performs better than MySQL but not as well as SingleStore. A full benchmarking setup is shared for readers to try on their own systems. 64 1 3. 3 [](/posts/can-a-database-be-faster-than-a-formula-1-engine--to1ovvu4r "Can a Database Be Faster Than a Formula 1 Engine?") Article SingleStore · 2y Can a Database Be Faster Than a Formula 1 Engine? Formula 1 cars generate vast amounts of real-time telemetry data, which is crucial for strategic decision-making. Each car is fitted with 300 sensors producing 1.1 million data points per second. Teams use this data for simulations, performance analysis, and strategy adjustments. SingleStore's real-time analytics capabilities are highlighted, showcasing its ability to handle high-throughput data streams and provide millisecond response times. The post includes a practical guide for setting up a data ingestion and visualization simulation using SingleStore, Confluent Kafka, and Grafana. 25 1 4. 4 [](/posts/introducing-singlestore-auth-iam-for-server-authentication-fifii5mdg "Introducing singlestore-auth-iam for Server Authentication") Article SingleStore · 45w Introducing singlestore-auth-iam for Server Authentication SingleStore introduces singlestore-auth-iam, a library enabling passwordless server authentication for databases and management APIs. Building on their 2022 singlestore-auth-helper for human users, this new tool integrates with cloud IAM systems (AWS, Azure, GCP) to use short-lived tokens instead of static passwords. Servers authenticate by requesting signed identity tokens from IAM, exchanging them for SingleStore-signed JWTs. This eliminates credential storage, enables automatic rotation, and reduces security risks across CI/CD pipelines and applications while maintaining role-based authorization through SingleStore's existing permissions system. 22 5. 5 [](/posts/5-signs-your-postgresql-database-is-hitting-its-performance-limits-u9vvraarm "5 Signs Your PostgreSQL Database Is Hitting Its Performance Limits") Article SingleStore · 1y 5 Signs Your PostgreSQL Database Is Hitting Its Performance Limits PostgreSQL is a powerful relational database system, but can face performance issues as workloads increase. Common signs include slow query performance, lock contention, data ingestion struggles, the need to frequently archive data, and diminishing hardware upgrade returns. SingleStore offers a modern, distributed architecture that enhances real-time analytics, reduces lock contention, supports high-throughput data ingestion, handles large data volumes efficiently, and scales horizontally for better performance and cost efficiency. 18 6. 6 [](/posts/context-engineering-a-definitive-guide-wbko2k9kr "Context Engineering: A Definitive Guide") Article SingleStore · 51w Context Engineering: A Definitive Guide Context engineering is a systematic approach to building AI systems that goes beyond prompt engineering by designing the complete environment in which AI operates. It involves structuring data sources, integrating tools, maintaining memory across interactions, and ensuring AI agents have access to relevant information when needed. The article explains how context engineering differs from prompt engineering and RAG systems, introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) as a standardized interface for managing data sources, and demonstrates building context-aware workflows using SingleStore as a long-term memory layer with vector search capabilities. 15 7. 7 [](/posts/scaling-postgresql-vs-singlestore-overcoming-performance-complexity-limits-ks97qqa6s "Scaling PostgreSQL vs. SingleStore: Overcoming Performance & Complexity Limits") Article SingleStore · 1y Scaling PostgreSQL vs. SingleStore: Overcoming Performance & Complexity Limits PostgreSQL faces significant scaling challenges as applications grow, requiring complex workarounds like read replicas, manual partitioning, and additional tools for caching and analytics. These solutions create operational overhead and architectural complexity. The database's row-based storage struggles with analytical workloads, while lock contention limits write throughput. AI workloads with vector embeddings further strain the system. SingleStore is presented as an alternative that combines transactional and analytical capabilities in a unified, horizontally scalable SQL engine with built-in vector search and hybrid storage formats. 14 1 [See all SingleStore archives](/tags/singlestore/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/singlestore/best-of/2025#page","url":"https://daily.dev/tags/singlestore/best-of/2025","name":"Best SingleStore Posts of 2025","description":"The most upvoted SingleStore posts of 2025, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/singlestore/best-of/2025#items","numberOfItems":7,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/build-a-local-ai-agent-with-python-ollama-langchain-and-singlestore-o5ulqax75","name":"Build a Local AI Agent with Python, Ollama, LangChain and SingleStore"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/mysql-vs-postgresql-vs-singlestore-performance-in-docker-3qa2pusui","name":"MySQL vs PostgreSQL vs SingleStore Performance in Docker"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/can-a-database-be-faster-than-a-formula-1-engine--to1ovvu4r","name":"Can a Database Be Faster Than a Formula 1 Engine?"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-singlestore-auth-iam-for-server-authentication-fifii5mdg","name":"Introducing singlestore-auth-iam for Server Authentication"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/5-signs-your-postgresql-database-is-hitting-its-performance-limits-u9vvraarm","name":"5 Signs Your PostgreSQL Database Is Hitting Its Performance Limits"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/context-engineering-a-definitive-guide-wbko2k9kr","name":"Context Engineering: A Definitive Guide"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/scaling-postgresql-vs-singlestore-overcoming-performance-complexity-limits-ks97qqa6s","name":"Scaling PostgreSQL vs. SingleStore: Overcoming Performance & Complexity Limits"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tags","item":"https://daily.dev/tags"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"SingleStore","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/singlestore"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/singlestore/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"2025"}]}]} ```
