If you're really confident that your SaaS application will only have that single workload (single table group-by) into perpetuity, it's a workable choice. But, that's a big bet against the reality of the diverse workloads required today in scale-up SaaS applications. Sure, you can stitch together specialized stores to make your own accidental distributed database for your app, but the simpler, more straight-forward and lower-latency alternative available. Yes, I'm a SingleStore employee, but it is worth considering the argument on its merit. It's also worth trying for free in production. The free tier for production is not time-bound, just capacity-bound.
