November 2021 Summaries

AWS re:Invent 2021 is set to take place from November 29th to December 3rd, and Aerospike will be a sponsor at the event. Attendees can experience Aerospike in various ways such as attending the Low Latency Luau, visiting the Consumer Lounge Takeover, tuning into AWS on Air with Bill Odell, or booking an onsite meeting to discuss business plans and needs. For those unable to attend in person, virtual passes are available for live keynotes and leadership sessions, as well as access to on-demand breakout sessions. Aerospike has also partnered with AWS to deploy the Aerospike Real-time Data Platform on the world's number one Cloud platform, offering a free 30-day trial.

Aerospike and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have partnered to provide a solution for Ad Tech companies, leveraging their decade-long collaboration with joint customers. The Aerospike Real-time Data Platform delivers exceptional performance on AWS, handling millions of transactions per second at petabyte scale. With the impending decline of third-party advertising cookies and stricter privacy regulations, this partnership offers Ad Tech companies a robust solution for managing large volumes of data with sub-millisecond processing and data consistency.

The Aerospike Standup Vol. 41 is a newsletter written by developers for developers, covering blog posts, community questions, documentation, releases, and events from the Aerospike team. It shares updates every other week and can be subscribed to via email. Community questions include intermittent spikes in user mode CPU usage on a single node and getting Aerospike timeouts with multiple Java clients. New articles include "Serverless Event Stream Processing with Aerospike" by Abhilash Mandaliya and a Jupyter Notebook about the Java Object Mapper. The knowledge base covers topics such as 'Too Many Chucks' during migration, best practices for shutting down async event loops, and non-retryable exceptions in Java threadPools. Upcoming events include Natalie speaking at a conference on November 16th and GopherCon from December 7-11th. Release notes are also provided.

Aerospike Standup is a bi-weekly newsletter tailored for developers, providing a comprehensive mix of community questions, new articles, knowledge base insights, upcoming events, and recent release notes from the Aerospike team. It covers various topics such as how to delete bins by evaluating expressions to nil, managing CPU usage spikes on Aerospike nodes, and handling Aerospike timeouts with Java clients. The newsletter features articles like "Serverless Event Stream Processing with Aerospike" by Abhilash Mandaliya and highlights tools like a Jupyter Notebook discussing the Java Object Mapper. Upcoming events include Natalie speaking about the Aerospike Kubernetes operator at Go Day on November 16 and delivering a keynote on AI-Driven Development in Go at GopherCon from December 7-11. Recent release notes date from October 24 to November 2, with a new connection for Presto - Trino.

Aerospike has released a petabyte-scale benchmark that demonstrates its Real-time Data Platform delivering 4 million to 5 million transactions per second (TPS) with sub-millisecond latencies for read-only and mixed workloads. The benchmark was achieved in collaboration with AWS and Intel® on a remarkably small 20-node AWS cluster powered by Intel® Xeon Scalable Processors. This proves that even with significant data growth and extreme workloads, the Aerospike Database performs with hundreds of nodes less than other databases, saving up to $10M per application in infrastructure costs. The benchmark results showcase Aerospike's ability to deliver exceptional performance at scale while maintaining a low server footprint compared to alternative solutions like Apache Cassandra.

Aerospike's recent benchmark, conducted in collaboration with AWS and Intel, demonstrates its Real-time Data Platform's ability to handle petabyte-scale workloads efficiently on just a 20-node AWS cluster, achieving 4 to 5 million transactions per second (TPS) with sub-millisecond latencies. This performance showcases Aerospike's architectural optimizations, such as the use of modern hardware and multi-threaded architecture, which allow it to offer significant cost savings compared to alternatives like Apache Cassandra. The benchmark involved complex workloads typical in industries like Ad Tech and financial services, underscoring Aerospike's capability to manage extreme application requirements with high scalability and operational ease. The results reveal a dramatically lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over three years compared to competing solutions, highlighting Aerospike's ability to cut infrastructure expenses by millions of dollars. The benchmark reflects the real-world successes of Aerospike's global customers, who have switched from other solutions to meet their growing data demands efficiently.

Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) revenues are expected to reach $167 billion by 2025, driven by the need for faster service delivery and reduced latency. MEC involves moving network infrastructure closer to end users, reducing access network latency. Aerospike, a leading database vendor for real-time data processing, offers solutions with low latency, high reliability, ability to scale, and small footprint, making it suitable for edge use cases in telecommunications. By leveraging Aerospike's technology, companies can optimize investments in modern infrastructure and applications while providing the best customer experience at real-time speeds.
