Aerospike is proud to recognize the newest Champions of Scale winners, announced last week at Aerospike events in Manila and Jakarta. These honorees represent the engineers and innovators powering Southeast Asia’s most dynamic digital platforms, where real-time scale and AI performance define success.

Following the success of the India awards, this next group reflects the strength and momentum of Aerospike’s customer community across Southeast Asia, spanning telecom, fintech, and digital services. Together, they demonstrate how leading organizations are modernizing critical systems to deliver real-time decisions and experiences at massive scale.

Globe, the Philippines’ leading telecom provider, built an AI-powered personalization engine on Aerospike that delivers real-time offers at scale, boosting customer engagement by 200% while processing billions of weekly scores with millisecond response times.
