These Aerospike tutorials will help developers quickly learn and enjoy using Aerospike Database. They contain both:

  • Concepts – Explanations of common database and Aerospike concepts.
  • Code – Functioning Aerospike API code snippets.

Using Jupyter Notebooks​


To install these tutorials as part of a complete Aerospike development environment in a Docker container, go here.

To check out what the development environmment offers, click the "Launch with Binder" link at the beginning of any tutorial. Binder creates a fresh container for your temporary use.

Tutorial Sections​

The following types of tutorial are already available:

Aerospike also provides client APIs for Go, Node.js, C, C#, and more.

Please provide feedback and suggestions for new tutorials.

Run Tutorials in a Docker Container​

These tutorials can be installed and run locally in a Docker container in just a few minutes. The Docker image contains an interactive Aerospike development environment.

  1. Install Docker.

  2. Get the Docker image.

    docker pull aerospike/intro-notebooks

  3. Run the image and expose port 8888:

    docker run --name aero-nb -p 8888:8888 aerospike/intro-notebooks

  4. Point your browser at the url with token which should be printed on the output. By default it should be:

    http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=<token>

Example:

$ docker run --name aero-nb -p 8888:8888 aerospike/intro-notebooks
