DescriptionReal-time database for speed, scale, and savings. Millisecond latency for mixed read/write workloads. Highly distributed. Proven strong consistency. Distributed ACID Transactions. Flash optimized for low cost of ownership and scalability. Aerospike Database is a shared-nothing, multi-threaded, multi-model data platform designed to operate efficiently on a cluster of server nodes, exploiting modern hardware and network technologies to drive reliably fast performance, at sub-millisecond speeds across petabytes of data.A drop-in Redis replacement that scales vertically to support millions of operations per second and terabyte sized workloads, all on a single instanceScalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase
