August 2018 Summaries

Aerospike has released version 4.3, which introduces two key features: All Flash and uniform balance. The All Flash feature extends support for hybrid memory to a broader range of cases, allowing users to configure storage as the index in certain scenarios. This can significantly reduce costs while maintaining high performance. Uniform balance is a subtle change to Aerospike's data distribution mechanism that improves deployment efficiency for larger cluster sizes, potentially reducing hardware requirements by up to 50%.

Aerospike has released version 4.3, which introduces two key features: All Flash and uniform balance. The All Flash feature extends Aerospike's Hybrid Memory to support large-scale storage of small objects, reducing cost but increasing latency. Uniform balance changes the data distribution mechanism to reduce cluster size and hardware costs for larger deployments. This release builds on previous versions, including strong consistency, enterprise security features, and a storage format improvement, aiming to provide easier deployment, efficiency, and lower hardware costs.
