"Blazing Fast, but Read the limitations before using"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Aerospike?

Aerospike has everything you would expect from a Key-Value store. Blazing Fast Write and Retrievals, Asynchronous Updates, UDFs, MultiFetches And a Feature Loaded Java API.

It performs as fast as In-Memory, when used with SSDs.

This can be the go-to Database for all sorts of caching Requirements in your company.

What surprised me was that, their update-modes and atomic Commands work like a charm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerospike?

The non configurable Limitations like 14 char limit on Bin Name, totally defeats the purpose of using it for storing multi-bins, or json like data.

We had to store the mappings separately, of the actual bin names to a 14 char truncated BinName, and use it at the time of Writing and also Reading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used it as a product cache, for e-commerce data. Where various attributes of the products were to be stored against their SKUs.

We chose it over Redis, for it's ability to store a record as Bins. The feature loaded Java API and blazing fast write-and-retrieval on the Primary Key made it fit for the requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A SOLID, High-Velocity Key/Value NOSQL Database "

5/5

What do you like best about Aerospike?

Metadata was using a traditional NOSQL database based on open-source technology, but we experienced challenges with scale and speed as our database grew.

We selected Aerospike to replace MongoDB due to its the ease of use, simple configuration and high velocity reading and writing.

Along with the easy client development and support for async requests, we managed to boost our profiling algorithms and run twice as fast, enabling us to serve more customers in a shorter amount of time with even leaner hardware resources.

Switching to Aerospike broadened our capabilities and has helped support our company growth. We recommend Aerospike to any software company looking for a solid key/value database that is scalable, super fast and commercially ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aerospike?

We had no problems / issues installing or integrating Aerospike into our solution and architecture. Their documentation made it easy and we're experiencing no issues scaling it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aerospike:

Read the documentation, talk to other users- make sure to set the best foot forward with the implementation and you're up for a sweet ride. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aerospike solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our major challenge was to support our exponentially growing database without sacrificing on our platform speed nor purchasing significant more infrastructure. The results were Aerospike were amazing as we were able to more than double our performance while keeping a lean cloud infra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
