Aerospike Database 8 Named NoSQL Solution of the Year in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — April 16, 2026 — Aerospike Inc. today announced that Database 8 has been named “NoSQL Solution of the Year” in the seventh annual Data Breakthrough Awards program. This marks the fourth time that Aerospike has been honored as a “Solution of the Year” by these awards.

Aerospike earned the recognition for Aerospike Database 8, which addresses long-standing limitations in NoSQL systems that continue to hold back the deployment of transactional and AI applications in enterprises. Aerospike Database 8 is the first real-time, distributed NoSQL database to guarantee strict serializability of ACID transactions at the scale, throughput, and predictable low latency modern applications require.

As enterprises move from AI pilots to production systems that act and adapt in real time, the underlying data layer becomes a bottleneck and needs to be modernized. Aerospike Database 8 supports these environments by delivering continuous access to fresh operational data, reliable context, and fast feedback loops for machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI applications. More than half of Aerospike revenue now comes from customers running AI-powered workloads in production.

“Aerospike Database 8 lets organizations run mission-critical transactions and production AI workloads on a single real-time data platform without giving up consistency, performance, or cost efficiency,” said Subbu Iyer, CEO of Aerospike. “This award shows the increasing demand for data infrastructure that supports applications working with live data on a global scale.”

Aerospike previously won Data Breakthrough Awards for Graph DBS Solution of the Year, In-memory Solution, and NoSQL Solution of the Year. Each year, the Data Breakthrough Awards conducts the most comprehensive analysis of the data technology industry. In 2026, over 3,500 nominations from around the globe were evaluated.
