Aerospike

Aerospike is a distributed NoSQL database that uses a hybrid memory architecture, keeping the index in memory and the data on SSD storage. It is aimed at low-latency real-time workloads such as advertising technology and fraud detection. It is developed by Aerospike, Inc., whose website gives an address in Mountain View, California.

The licensing differs by edition. Community Edition is made available under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3, an open source licence. Enterprise Edition is under a commercial licence. The Community Edition is free but limited to clusters of up to eight nodes and 2.5 TB of data, while the Enterprise Edition supports up to 256 nodes and unlimited data. Enterprise pricing is given as contact for pricing, and cloud-managed options are also offered.

Aerospike can be run self-managed or through those managed options. The latest tagged release is 8.1.2.5, dated 17 September 2026. The documentation also lists an 8.2.0 database entry, for which no date was stated, and the release notes cover the 8.2.0, 8.1.2.x, 8.1.1.x and 8.1.0 lines.

Buyers expecting to grow beyond the Community Edition limits should plan for the Enterprise Edition from the outset, and should obtain a quotation, because the node and data caps affect both design and cost.
