Summary

Aerospike has released version 4.3, which introduces two key features: All Flash and uniform balance. The All Flash feature extends support for hybrid memory to a broader range of cases, allowing users to configure storage as the index in certain scenarios. This can significantly reduce costs while maintaining high performance. Uniform balance is a subtle change to Aerospike's data distribution mechanism that improves deployment efficiency for larger cluster sizes, potentially reducing hardware requirements by up to 50%.
