Achieving high performance for mixed workloads
Aerospike's hybrid memory architecture combines in-memory processing with persistent storage, typically SSDs, allowing it to process reads quickly while efficiently managing write throughput. The system optimizes I/O paths for SSDs, minimizing bottlenecks and ensuring high write throughput without sacrificing read performance. Aerospike's sharding mechanism ensures even data distribution across nodes, preventing hotspots and maintaining high throughput for mixed workloads. The database provides strong consistency guarantees, ensuring that reads reflect the most recent writes, even in a distributed environment. With its ability to scale horizontally without sacrificing performance, Aerospike is well-suited for businesses managing real-time data processing under demanding conditions.
