Aerospike is renowned as a very fast, very scalable database capable of storing billions or trillions of records, as well as being able to replicate the data to multipe remote database clusters. Hence, a common question which arises is: "How can I validate that two clusters are in sync?". This used to be a difficult problem, but new API calls in Aerospike v5.6 make this task substantially easier. In this blog we will look at one of these new API calls and use it to develop some code to show how a cluster comparator could be written.

Aerospike is known for incredible speed and scalability. As a bonus, people using Aerospike often recognize a far lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared with other technologies. Optimizing the distribution of data between servers contributes to this low TCO and Aerospike's uniform balance feature allows for almost-perfect even distribution of data across the servers, resulting in better resource utilization and easier capacity planning. This blog post examines how this feature works.
