Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization uses Aerospike to power applications that need access to data in real-time. It powers many different kinds of applications as it's a key-value database, graph database, JSON Document database, and a Vector database all-in-one. It's very resilient and once the cluster is up and running, it doesn't have any full cluster failures that impact our applications.

Best part is that we've been able to scale to hold 100s of TBs and haven't seen any performance degrade in terms of throughput and latency.

Pros

low latency database while deployed on SSDs (1ms-4ms)
high throughput database (supports our 600k+ ops/second application)
ability to scale-up and scale-out, enabling us to store 20TB cost efficiently

Cons

The developer experience could be a bit better
Community driven engagement is pretty low
No GUI for developer play around

Likelihood to Recommend

Its best suited for applications that need low latency, high throughput, while storing Terabytes of data on a single cluster

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In-memory and NoSQL databases are a database combination that is being employed by a growing number of applications. Aerospike features a Hybrid Memory Architecture, which makes it unique. When using a persistent SSD, the index is kept in memory while the data is stored on the disc and then retrieved from the drive, as opposed to when using a non-persistent SSD.

Pros

featured with robustness and reliability
low hardware resource consumption especially RAM
open-source
distributed no-sql server

Cons

cannot be used for every application
community support is less

Likelihood to Recommend

We were developing an advertisement time auction application, where we had to store the client's personal details, advertisement-related details, location, and many other details. Moreover, we required a promotion, cookies, and a few more details from the front end. All this information is heavy in terms of size and cannot be lost if the server crash. So, we required an extremely fast disk database with high scalability and low throughput.

Super low latency NoSQL database with up and coming features

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Aerospike is used to perform low-latency looks-up on our edge servers. Data is replicated out from a central cloud based cluster out to bare metal to mitigate costs. The low latency reads and ability to handle high volume writes with minimal errors is enormous in our industry.

Pros

Low latency
Stable
Highly configurable
increasing features

Cons

AQL is pretty limited and not as useful as the java client
Documentation can be lacking for some products
replication configuration is complicated

Likelihood to Recommend

Aerospike preforms great as an ultra low latency key value lookup, the java client is very robust and leads to easy development. I would say the additional/newer products specifically the kafka connector are rough around the edges for development but do blend nicely into the big data landscape.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Fastest KV lookup we ever did, by using Aerospike. Compared it to other KV lookups such as Redis, MemcacheD and Genie.
The Aerospike database has become core to the company product itself. It essentially reduced lookups by 30% compared to redis and memcacheD. The core product of the company is adserving and was used as well for fraudulent clicks, and such.

Pros

Scales really quickly and easily. Can deploy a new cluster or add to a cluster fairly quick.
MGMT UI is easy to use. Utilizing cli, makes it easy to "autoscale" for us.
The sharding removes any need to overlook to make sure if balanced correctly.
HA is dead simple, that almost little to no need figure out how to do it.

Cons

Load balancing per network segments.
Reduction in price.
Cross datacenter replication usage isn't so straightforward. Sometimes cross dc replication can have issues of bad data..

Likelihood to Recommend

Compared to redis and memcacheD, high availibity is best from Aerospike. Load balancing is also well done through Aerospike. If you're doing K/V lookups data exceeds more than 1MB, then Aerospike definitely fits the bill. However, it is not best as a document store. It is really atrocious in that nature. If anything look @ Mongo or something else then.
