The Aerospike database technology offers two primary options for building a global cluster: Strong Consistency and High Availability. Strong Consistency ensures data is always current and accurate, with low latency reads, high availability, and no lost writes. However, this approach prioritizes accuracy over speed, making it suitable for money-related actions, inventory management, and social graphs where data integrity is paramount. In contrast, High Availability prioritizes speed and performance, allowing for some data staleness or loss, but ensuring the application provides a good user experience. This approach is commonly used in AdTech and fraud detection systems, where quick reads are necessary to serve ads or detect fraudulent transactions. The choice between Strong Consistency and High Availability depends on the specific use case, with Aerospike supporting both options for various applications.
