Apache vs SingleStore

The Apache HTTP Server, colloquially called Apache, is the world's most widely used web server software. Originally based on the NCSA HTTPd server, development of Apache began in early 1995 after work on the NCSA code stalled. Apache played a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web, Apache is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation. Most commonly used on a Unix-like system, the software is available for a wide variety of operating systems, besides Unix and GNU+Linux, including eComStation, Microsoft Windows, NetWare, OpenVMS, OS/2, and TPF. Released under the Apache License, Apache is free and open-source software.

MemSQL is a distributed, in-memory database that is part of the NewSQL movement. MemSQL combines lock-free data structures and a just-in-time compiler for processing highly volatile workloads. Queries are stripped of their parameters and the query template is stored as a shared object which is subsequently matched against incoming queries to the system. Code generation and the execution of pre-compiled query plans removes interpretation along hot code paths, providing highly efficient code paths that minimize the number of CPU instructions required.
