The Lessons Missing from Benchmarking NoSQL on the AWS Cloud (AerospikeDB and Redis)

The results of a benchmark conducted by Lynn Langit titled "Lessons Learned – Benchmarking NoSQL on the AWS Cloud (AerospikeDB and Redis)" have been published, comparing AerospikeDB with Redis in terms of performance. The benchmark shows that both databases can deliver comparable throughput per server in read-write mixes, but raises questions about the methodology used, such as the lack of conventional Redis practices like pipelining and multi-key operations. The results also reveal inconsistencies, such as a decrease in performance for a 100% read pattern against sharded Redis from Test 1 to Test 2, and an unexpected improvement in performance when AOF is enabled for single-shard Redis configurations. The comparison highlights the challenges of doing comparative benchmarks and leaves some loose ends unanswered.
