Part 4/12:
The strength of SingleStore lies in its innovative three-layered architecture:
1. Memory Layer (Hot Data)
Data is initially ingested into in-memory storage for ultra-fast writes.
Optimized for high throughput, supporting millions of records per second.
Implements replication for high availability, ensuring zero downtime even if a node fails.
2. On-Disk Layer (Cold Data)
Data that meets certain thresholds moves from memory to a columnar SSD-based format.
Supports durability through transactional logs, enabling recovery after failures.
Facilitates efficient analytical queries over historical data without impacting transactional performance.
