Running Aerospike at production scale?
- ▸ Hybrid Memory tuning — sub-millisecond p99 latency target is sliding; DRAM + SSD storage profile needs an audit against actual working-set + write-amplification numbers.
- ▸ Hot-key contention — specific partitions are throttling at peak load even with namespace-level resources unsaturated; namespace + set partitioning needs review.
- ▸ XDR cross-DC replication — lag is climbing past SLA, conflict-resolution policy is unclear, and the multi-region cutover runbook hasn't been validated under load.

Which Aerospike service do you actually need?
Direct mapping from the symptom you're seeing to the engagement that fixes it. If multiple match, start with the architecture-decision page (consulting) — most other engagements depend on the topology being right.
| Symptom / situation | Right engagement | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Moving from DynamoDB / Cassandra / Redis to Aerospike | Aerospike Migration | Cutover playbook, dual-write topology, data-model translation, rollback gates. |
| Sub-millisecond p99 latency is sliding under load | Performance Tuning | Hybrid Memory + SSD storage profile audit, namespace tuning, hot-key remediation, write-amplification analysis. |
| Production cluster down or replication-lag incident | Aerospike Support | 24/7 incident response with SLA, root-cause analysis, post-mortem playbooks. |
| Multi-region active-active design / XDR cutover | High Availability | XDR cross-DC replication topology, conflict-resolution policy, region-failover runbook. |
| Ongoing operations — no in-house Aerospike DBA | Remote DBA | Dedicated DBA-as-a-service: monitoring, patching, capacity planning, query tuning. |
| Aerospike on Kubernetes / EKS / GKE | Aerospike on Kubernetes | Aerospike Kubernetes Operator (AKO), StatefulSet design, persistent storage class, multi-AZ topology. |
| Architecture decision before any code ships | Aerospike Consulting | Topology design, namespace + set strategy, hybrid memory sizing, DynamoDB / Cassandra comparison. |
Aerospike at a glance — what the leaves don't cover
Aerospike is a NoSQL key-value + document database designed around Hybrid Memory Architecture — indexes in DRAM, data on SSD with raw block access (bypassing the filesystem). That single architectural choice is why Aerospike consistently delivers sub-millisecond p99 latency at scale where Redis runs out of RAM budget and Cassandra chokes on GC pauses. It's the database of record for real-time fraud detection, ad-tech bidstreams, gaming leaderboards, and telecom subscriber profiles — workloads where latency budget is measured in microseconds and you cannot afford a stop-the-world GC.
Trade-offs to know before adopting: Strong Consistency mode (SC) has different semantics than Available mode (AP) and affects the failover behaviour. Cross-Datacenter Replication (XDR) is asynchronous by default; getting it right under load needs operational discipline. Aerospike Enterprise (paid) ships features production deployments end up needing — XDR, RBAC, on-disk encryption, Aerospike Connect for Kafka/Spark — so the "Community is enough" assumption rarely survives the first scaling event.

What are the most common database consulting questions?
Common questions about Aerospike consulting services
What makes Aerospike different from other NoSQL databases?
Aerospike's hybrid memory architecture combines DRAM and SSD storage to deliver sub-millisecond latency at massive scale. Unlike other NoSQL databases, Aerospike provides strong consistency with AP (availability and partition tolerance) capabilities, making it ideal for real-time applications.
How do you ensure data consistency in Aerospike clusters?
We implement Aerospike's strong consistency model with proper conflict resolution policies. Our configurations include replica synchronization, read/write policies, and cross-datacenter replication (XDR) setup to maintain data integrity across all nodes.
What's the typical performance improvement with Aerospike?
Most clients see 10-100x performance improvements in read/write operations, with latencies dropping from hundreds of milliseconds to sub-millisecond levels. Throughput typically increases by 5-20x depending on the use case and previous database technology.
Do you provide ongoing support after implementation?
Yes, we offer comprehensive 24/7 support packages including monitoring, maintenance, performance tuning, and emergency response. Our support tiers range from basic monitoring to dedicated DBA services.
Can Aerospike handle both OLTP and OLAP workloads?
Aerospike excels at OLTP workloads with its real-time capabilities. For OLAP, we typically recommend hybrid architectures where Aerospike handles real-time operations while analytical workloads are processed using complementary technologies like Apache Spark or ClickHouse.
What's the migration process from existing databases?
We follow a phased migration approach: assessment, data modeling, parallel running, gradual cutover, and validation. Most migrations are completed with zero downtime using our proven methodologies and tools.
