Our take

Aerospike is a high speed data platform that promises to reduce server footprints by up to 80%. Aimed at satisfying large-scale data platform requirements, clients include PayPal, Verizon Media, European Central Bank, and Snap Inc.

While there are other data platforms available such as DataStax, Redis Labs and Couchbase, Aerospike sets itself apart through offering no trade off between cost and a high level of performance and consistency on a large scale.

As massive petabyte data sets become the norm for large businesses, Aerospike realises the need for systems that can handle this in real time. Its release of Aerospike Connect brings connectivity of Aerospike Database 5 with a range of big name open source frameworks such Apache Spark, Presto, Pulsar, Kafka and JMS - making Aerospike products more useful to a wider client set.
