Why we tested AWS Graviton4 for Aerospike

AWS Graviton4-based I8g instances offer significant advantages for AdTech workloads, including 6X throughput and improved latency. Aerospike customers run high-performance, real-time applications where both ultra-low latency and high throughput are mission-critical. The latest AWS Nitro SSDs minimize storage I/O latency by up to 50% and variability by up to 60%, ensuring greater reliability for real-time workloads. Graviton4 provides up to 60% better compute performance and improved memory bandwidth compared to Graviton2, allowing Aerospike to handle significantly larger transaction volumes while maintaining low latencies. I8g instances deliver 94-99% lower tail latencies at high TPS, ensuring critical transactions are completed on time, and 6X higher TPS while maintaining SLA guarantees, allowing more real-time decisions per dollar spent.
