Summary

The Aerospike Database provides various deployment strategies for building geographically distributed applications. These include intra-regional deployments as well as clustering options between regions within the same continent or even different continents. Key terms to understand are "region," "availability zone," and "site" / "multi-site." The Aerospike Database supports strong consistency models, such as active-active single-region multi-site synchronous clustering and active-active multi-regional multi-site synchronous clustering. Additionally, it offers high availability models like disaster recovery, single-region multi-zone highly available single cluster, active-active cross-datacenter replication, active-passive cross-datacenter replication – cascading updates, and active-passive cross-datacenter replication – hub and spoke updates. These deployment options enable applications to achieve the desired resiliency, availability, and accuracy for their specific needs.
