Slow queries — sound familiar?
- ▸ Index in RAM overflowing — Primary key index growing faster than node memory budget; you're hitting
stop-writes-pct, writes blocked, and adding storage doesn't fix an index problem. - ▸ Cold reads from SSD — Working set spilling past
data-in-memorythreshold; p99 read latency climbing as more queries hit SSD, and hybrid memory namespace tuning isn't obvious. - ▸ Secondary index amplification — Secondary index queries doing full record reads server-side; the SI lookup is cheap but each match dereferences a 2KB record from SSD, multiplying IO by 10-50×.

Aerospike Performance Tuning & Optimization Services
In short: Aerospike performance tuning involves optimizing the hybrid memory architecture (DRAM vs SSD allocation), namespace configuration, secondary indexes, batch operations, and client connections to achieve sub-millisecond latency and maximize throughput — covering all-flash tuning, strong consistency mode, hot-key resolution, and XDR replication.
Transform your Aerospike database performance with our specialized optimization services. Achieve sub-millisecond latency, maximize throughput, and optimize hybrid memory architecture for real-time applications requiring the ultimate in speed and scalability.
Common Aerospike Performance Challenges
Common performance bottlenecks affecting real-time applications and sub-millisecond latency requirements
Latency Spikes
Inconsistent response times during peak loads with latency exceeding 10ms, affecting real-time application performance and user experience.
