MongoDB vs. Aerospike

MongoDB and Aerospike are both popular NoSQL databases, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. MongoDB is known for its flexibility and ease of use, while Aerospike offers strong consistency and better performance under heavy load. Some challenges with MongoDB include difficulty scaling from a single replica set to a sharded environment, degrading performance with increasing users, susceptibility to data loss and inconsistency, requiring third-party caching, lack of local writes in multiple geographies, absence of a mobile solution, and time-consuming management. Aerospike addresses these issues by offering built-in sharding, strong consistency, native support for cross-datacenter replication, integration with mobile platforms, and managed services for cloud infrastructure.
