What it is
SingleStore Helios is a cloud database service that combines transactional and analytical workloads in one database. It runs on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, and lets storage scale independently from compute. Its data capabilities include relational data, JSON/BSON documents, vector and full-text search, time-series, geospatial, and key-value data. SingleStore Pipelines can bring in data from sources such as Kafka, Amazon S3, and HDFS. The service also includes Jupyter notebooks, data integration services, and compute for AI workloads. Available through web and API platforms, Helios lists integrations including Datadog, Terraform, Apache Spark, AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, dbt, and Fivetran. The free Shared workspace is for evaluation, development, and non-production testing, with self-support. Standard is $0.99 per month for managed production workloads; Enterprise is $1.49 per month and includes online point-in-time recovery, Smart Disaster Recovery, audit logging, and customer-managed encryption keys. SingleStore was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in San Francisco.
