Aerospike Database and the client API provide a rich set of capabilities that have evolved over more than a decade through an increasing number of mission critical deployments. This post provides a high level view of the Aerospike architecture and API to give developers a broader understanding of its architecture and capabilities, and help them become more productive and effective. This post also points to resources for further exploration of specific areas.

Welcome to the Aerospike Standup. Here are some highlights:

We are restarting developer meetups! The first one is scheduled on Tuesday, July 19th in our Mountain View office. Join us if you can and learn from experts at PayPal about robust and scalable monitoring of over 2000 Aerospike nodes as well as the high level architecture of their AI/ML-based real-time fraud detection and prevention system.

This post focuses on the use of Collection Data Types (CDTs) for data modeling in Aerospike with a large number of objects. This is Part 2 in the two part series on Data Modeling. You can find the first post here.

Context​

Data Modeling is the exercise of mapping application objects onto the model and mechanisms provided by the database for persistence, performance, consistency, and ease of access.

Aerospike Database is purpose built for applications that require predictable sub-millisecond access to billions and trillions of objects and need to store many terabytes and petabytes of data, while keeping the cluster size - and therefore the operational costs - small. The goals of large data size and small cluster size mean the capacity of high-speed data storage on each node must be high.

You can quickly become enamored with graph databases. When you discover that a short graph query can express what took you 6 weeks and 2 ounces of midnight oil in SQL - it is a life changing experience. When you use those queries to gain new insights about your customers through graph analytics, it is transformational for your business. So what happens when the technology you’ve so fallen in love with and become so reliant on, grinds to a halt? Imagine what that could do to your business.

Welcome to the Aerospike Standup. Here are some highlights:

We released version 1.6.0 of our JDBC driver which adds secondary index support as well as batch reads and writes.

If you are developing applications, this article on data modeling illustrates some strategies to get the most out of Aerospike. Judicious modeling can help unleash Aerospike's true performance and open up use cases that might be hidden from you otherwise.

See below for details on the blog posts, releases, questions from the community, and events collected from this past month.

Speed up your SQL queries using Aerospike secondary indexes​

With Aerospike Server 6.0, we have enhanced secondary index queries to allow for querying by partition, throttling, etc. The Trino connector now leverages this functionality to accelerate your secondary key queries at scale.

Welcome to the Aerospike Standup, a newsletter written by developers for developers, that brings together blog posts, questions from the community, documentation, releases and events, written by the Aerospike team.

Aerospike is proud to announce Aerospike Database 6, our newest database server release, now generally available (GA). This version of Aerospike is full of exciting developer features, which open up new capabilities for application developers to build on.
