Aerospike Community Edition is a distributed NoSQL database designed for applications that require fast access to large amounts of information. It combines a key-value storage model with flexible records containing multiple data fields.
The database is particularly useful for applications involving frequent reads and writes, including user profiles, application state, real-time services and event-driven workloads.
Aerospike uses a distributed architecture that automatically partitions data across database servers. Records can be replicated between nodes, allowing applications to maintain access to information when individual servers become unavailable.
Its storage architecture is designed to make effective use of memory and persistent storage. Applications can access records by their primary keys or use secondary indexes to locate information based on stored values.
Aerospike supports several data types, including strings, numeric values, lists, maps and other structured information. This allows applications to represent more complex records without imposing a traditional relational schema.
This is free and open source software.
