Aerospike - fast and furious caching. Burgasconf 2016

1. Aerospike –
the fast and furious cache Burgas Conf @ 2016

2. What is Aerospike
• Fast
• Scalable
• ACID compliant
• Open Source
• Schema-less
• Querying
• Aggregations/MapReduce using UDF
Burgas Conf @ 2016

3. What means fast?
• Flash/SSD optimized.
• Simple AWS test to make 1 million TPS on one r3.8xlarge instance.
• 10 million keys, 100 byte string values, 50% read and 50% write
Burgas Conf @ 2016

4. Scalable
• Automatic cluster node discovery
• Supports UDP/TCP.
• Replication factor
• Distributed reads/writes.
• Self-managed – auto-heal, automatic data balancing, recovery
from partition split.
Burgas Conf @ 2016

5. ACID
• Atomicity
• Data is read/written on 'master'.
• Consistency
• A record is considered successfully written if all replicas acknowledge write.
• Isolation
• Read-committed isolation level. Applying CaS (Check and Set or Test and
Set) concurrency scheme to allow parallel read-modify-write cycles.
• Durability
• Data persisting on flash storage. Rack-aware replication. Cross data-center
(XDR) replication for enterprise users.

6. Open Source
• Aerospike Server - GNU Affero General Public License version 3
(AGPLv3) since June 2014.
• Aerospike Client – Apache License.

7. Schema-less
• Basically a Key-Value store, but...

8. Schema-less: Namespaces

9. Schema-less: Sets

10. Schema-less: Record structure
• Key
• Metadata
• TTL
• Generation (auto-increment id)
• Bins a.k.a. Columns
• Types: integer, string, bytes, double, list, map, GeoJSON, native-language
serialized (blobs), LDT (over 1MB of data).

• Gaming.
• Fast/real-time data manipulation
• Statistics
