“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are” --Anais Nin.

This is also a Talmudic idea about dream analysis: People can only dream about things they have encountered or thought about, and so their dreams consist not of reality — whatever that is — but is instead a version filtered through the lens of the dreamer’s experiences. So none of us really see any situation objectively. Each person sees life with their own beliefs, preconceptions, interpretation, and attitude. It means that the way we see things reflects who we are.

NextGen Data Platform

How we re-architected Heap to make it 5x faster

Heap has run for years on Postgres using the Citus extension to turn it into a massively distributed database. The new system splits the architecture across two components, a Hudi data lake for offline processing, plus SingleStore as our core “live” analytics system.

Heap Takes Aim at the Enterprise

Real-time Performance with 25% Cost Reduction via SingleStore

Heap wanted a more modern, columnar database that decoupled storage from compute, one designed for high-throughput analytics. SingleStore delivered 10X better performance than our current system.

Makers choose SingleStore

Heap by Contentsquare

“We were able to build more confidence in our ability to provide a platform we could grow with that could operate cost-effectively at scale. SingleStore struck the right balance of performance, cost, expressiveness and partnership.” -Me
