We started doing an evaluation against Cassandra, HBase. Those were the main two ones that we looked at. Postgres pretty much didn’t get consideration because it was getting too expensive. And Aerospike was definitely coming out head-and-shoulders above and with respect to two important parameters…the latency at the 95th percentile…and the throughput that it can sustain.

Prior to Aerospike, we were using another in-memory data store and we were running into challenges in terms of the cost of scaling…

Aerospike has a proven track record inside Dream11. I’m confident that we will be using it in more and more services. It is a proven reliable component... Aerospike gets the job done and doesn’t keep us awake at night.

Having the best technology in the world and having the best team in the world is not enough. You really need to connect between them. You need to know how to use the technology. The path that we took with Aerospike and our [Aerospike] technical account manager is a game changer in this kind of project.

It gave us quick access to large datasets with one hop to the data from the client and the predictability we needed for our fraud platform. When you only have about 100 milliseconds to detect fraud, even 40 milliseconds of database calls consumes 40% of your detection budget.

The ability to replicate data across regions is something that Aerospike provides that very (few) other NoSQL databases do with ease. Without Aerospike, we’d be looking for a new NoSQL data store that performs as well as Aerospike does, and I haven’t seen one out there.

We are simply in a latency game and they are the best in the latency game. Aerospike does what they say. Aerospike just works.

With ever-increasing traffic demands, our business simply can't afford delays or downtime. With Aerospike, we now have a database we can count on to perform at the highest levels at all times and that we're confident will help us grow.

Our data demands are growing exponentially, and we need a real-time data platform that can handle our current requirements but ensure that we can adapt and scale for what lies ahead. The Aerospike real-time data platform takes us to the next level in terms of scale and performance and provides us with a standardized platform that ensures our customers can meet the rapid response times they demand both now and in the future.

Working with Aerospike has been surprising in some ways because of how easy it is to get started using it and just how simple it is to manage and deal with failures.
