Adventures in Aerospike

Aerospike, an open-source NoSQL database, was explored during a 1-week internship by student Theodore. He created a functional database and a data visualization program in Python, which took 3 days to complete. To set up the environment, Theodore installed WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), Docker, and Aerospike, followed by creating a cluster with 5 nodes and adding an AMS client. The AMS client was used to visualize airline passenger statistics from Data.gov, which showed the number of passengers per airline. The program utilized atomic transactions and plotly for visualization.
