Aerospike vs. DynamoDB: See the benchmark results
75% faster. 10x cheaper. Fully resilient.
DynamoDB performance struggles to keep up at scale, and its pricing only gets worse as you grow. If your applications demand predictable low latency, high throughput, and operational affordability, Aerospike is the better choice.
This independent benchmark by McKnight Consulting Group compares Aerospike, DynamoDB, and DynamoDB with DAX across 1 TB, 5 TB, and 10 TB datasets for both 70/30 and 100/0 read/write workloads. The results are clear: Aerospike outperforms on every front, including latency, throughput, and total cost of ownership, at every scale.
What you’ll learn inside
How Aerospike crushes latency
Aerospike achieved p99 latencies up to 93% lower than DynamoDB and 91% lower than DynamoDB with DAX, across all data volumes and workloads.
Throughput that scales
With up to 112x higher throughput than DynamoDB, Aerospike handles massive transactional loads without breaking a sweat, even at 10 TB.
Cost efficiency at every tier
Aerospike slashed annual infrastructure costs by up to 8.5x compared to DynamoDB and up to 12.5x compared to DynamoDB with DAX, all while delivering better performance.
Proven resilience under load
Simulated failure tests showed Aerospike recovering from node restarts in minutes, without dropping below 600K ops/sec. Performance dipped by no more than 11%, and recovered fully in as little as three minutes.
Built for real-time scale, not tradeoffs
Where DynamoDB requires pre-warmed capacity, retry logic, and costly acceleration layers like DAX, Aerospike just runs - fast, consistent, and efficient. It scales linearly, maintains uptime under stress, and keeps costs predictable.
Whether you're running a billion reads per day or looking to shrink cloud spend without compromising SLAs, this benchmark provides the facts.
