Why Choose Aerospike on Kubernetes?

Aerospike on Kubernetes combines predictable low latency and hybrid memory architecture with cloud-native orchestration for real-time applications at scale.

Hybrid Memory Architecture

Aerospike's unique hybrid memory engine stores indexes in RAM while data resides on SSDs, delivering in-memory speed at flash storage cost. On Kubernetes, this maps to PVCs backed by high-performance storage classes.

Predictable Low Latency

Sub-millisecond read and write latency at the 99th percentile, even under heavy load. Aerospike's optimized storage engine and parallelized I/O ensure consistent performance on Kubernetes pods.

Cross-Datacenter Replication

Aerospike XDR (Cross-Datacenter Replication) provides asynchronous replication between Kubernetes clusters across regions or clouds, enabling active-active geo-distribution and disaster recovery.

Cloud-Native Auto-Scaling

Scale Aerospike clusters horizontally on Kubernetes by adding pods. The AKO operator handles data migration and rebalancing automatically, with support for HPA and cluster autoscaler integration.

Our Aerospike on Kubernetes Implementation Process

A proven methodology for deploying production-ready Aerospike clusters on Kubernetes with comprehensive testing and validation.

1

Assessment & Planning

Analyze workload characteristics, data model, latency requirements, and infrastructure. Design cluster topology, storage classes, rack awareness mapping, and namespace configuration.

2

Operator & Cluster Deployment

Install the AKO operator, configure AerospikeCluster CRDs, provision storage, and deploy the cluster with Helm charts. Set up RBAC, network policies, and secrets management.

3

Integration & Validation

Connect applications, validate client configurations, run performance benchmarks, test failover and recovery scenarios, and verify rack-aware replica distribution.

4

Production & Observability

Go live with full monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana), alerting rules, backup CronJobs, XDR replication, and runbooks. Provide training and ongoing 24/7 support.
