Worth 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://…
This video shows off how easy it is to manage, pretty impressive (I don't work for Aerospike by the way, I'm just happy to share about it)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF83TmR-NME
To give some idea of speed... http://www.aerospike.com/blog/aerospike-doubles-in-memory-no... 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...
"To give some idea of speed"
Purported speed. Please, we've all seen enough wildly hyped NoSQL databases now to remain a little cynical, haven't we?
It's an impressive cache. Last I looked at it they were using lua and it looked like they were going squarely after mongo
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_...

"just look at the cost savings" Purported cost savings.
An alternative example...

"Snapdeal replaced 10 MongoDB database servers with the Aerospike database on two servers on Amazon EC2—an 80% reduction—while continuing to rapidly scale the business."
The 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.mong…
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 Mo…
Well in the case of companies like Google or Facebook, they might actually modify the database for various of reasons (e.g. internal policy, speed, etc). I don't have first hand experience with modifying databases so I thought I would ask :)

In this benchmark, Couchbase gets some impressive results, but it does appear that Aerospike is the overall winner when it comes to speed and reliability. Anyway, the code is free to install, it's easy enough to validate the speed claims...

They don't have ACID transactions. We had to put up a page to dispel some of the misuse of the term ACID. Aerospike's excerpt:
"Aerospike does not provide true ACID transactions. Just like Cassandra 2.0, Aerospike only provides compare and set, and misleadingly labels it as ACID."

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 thoug…
You make it sound like it would be better not to open source code at all.

It's called marketing and as evidenced by MongoDB, people will believe anything you tell them. Web scale my ass Mongo.
