It's got some impressive responses from people in industry too, check out this post about its use at eBay... http://www.aerospike.com/blog/ebay-helps-retailers-know-your...

#3The APGL license caught my eyes. Does anyone take this license into account (deciding between an Apache/MIT/BSD DB vs APGL DB) when they use it in their service / software stack.
For example, this openstack thread always keeps me alert using APGL when I am developing a solution. http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2014-Marc...
and here is MongoDB's FAQ explaining APGL in plain English: http://blog.mongodb.org/post/103832439/the-agpl

I can't see it being an issue. As mentioned in the useful MongoDB link you shared, the licence will require sharing only when modifying the database code, but not require automatic sharing of the rest of the software stack.
Have there been any court cases involving AGPL violations? I wonder if some of Gil Yehuda's fears are partly out of lack of clarity on where the reach of the AGPL ends? For example claiming the MongoDB drivers 'violate the AGPL license', I´d prefer to see a response from GNU on this.

AGPL is essentially the "corporate coward" license. They want to capture all of your private changes to basically get free (legally mandated, zero "community good will") development resources. Companies think it's "safer" than BSD or straight up GPL because lawyers feel "omgz, source codes, zero cost IP copies, instant competition!"
The next step after AGPL will probably be BrainGPL requiring you to publish all thoughts you have about any code you look at ever.

#6You know, when I first saw this I thought it's the aerospike engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospike_engine
Re: Aerospike goes Open Source
#7Worth pointing out that unlike some NoSQL engines, Aerospike does have access to its own query language (AQL) that is syntatically similar to SQL...
https://docs.aerospike.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3807...
From the AQL query documentation you have... SELECT name, age FROM users.profiles WHERE age BETWEEN 20 AND 29 ...which is pretty easy to understand.
There´s also a Python client (Apache licensed)... https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-python

#8It's an impressive cache. Last I looked at it they were using lua and it looked like they were going squarely after mongo

That's pretty cool in its own right, thanks pwnna.

The core code is written in C, but they're definitely using Lua in places, I believe they've incorporated some code from AlchemyDB... https://code.google.com/p/alchemydatabase/
From what I've read it could easily surpass Mongo, just look at the cost savings... http://www.datanami.com/2013/09/06/aerospike_says_secret_to_... "The second comparison (a video ad serving platform) had much bigger requirements, including a 5TB database processing 500,000 TPS. The hybrid SSD-DRAM setup running the AeroSpike database was able to handle the load with just 14 servers, at a total cost of $322,000, compared to 186 servers using NoSQL running on clusters of servers that use a lot of DRAM and cost $5.6 million."
They´re ACID compliant as well, which Mongo is not (AFAIK)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnxj77NNEeg
