What’s New in Aerospike 3.12?

Aerospike has released version 3.12 with new features such as in-database filtering, performance optimizations with CPU pinning and NUMA enhancements, scale-up improvements, namespace and set truncation, incremental backup and restore, and the Aerospike Management Console v4.0. These updates aim to provide a highly scalable and performant database for various industries including financial services, e-commerce, telecommunications, and retail. The in-database filtering feature enables users to write arbitrary expressions and filter query and scan results based on individual column contents. Performance optimizations with CPU pinning and NUMA enhancements aim to extend Aerospike's lead in database performance by increasing speed for metadata operations like "find most recently changed items" or "items that will expire soon". Scale-up improvements increase the number of objects per namespace per server from 4 billion to 32 billion, allowing each namespace to consume up to 2 TB of DRAM in each node. Namespace and set truncation allows for quick and efficient removal of data from individual sets and namespaces with a single administration command or API call. Incremental backup and restore enables only backing up the records that have changed since a certain time, improving efficiency and practicality for commercial deployments. The Aerospike Management Console v4.0 is a web-based tool to monitor and manage an Aerospike cluster, providing live updates to the current status of a cluster and includes features such as enabling basic HTTP authentication, configuring clusters that are always permanently monitored, connecting to a TLS-enabled secure Aerospike cluster, persisting notifications even after closing your browser, and configuring emails to receive Aerospike cluster alerts.
