The minimum useful licensing is in the tens of thousands of dollars. For the SLA they offer, it makes sense. Many well known Ad Serving companies utilize Aerospike (at a fraction of the cost of their previous solutions). It's very impressive result, per machine, from an operational standpoint.

When a product claims to have 100% uptime, I immediately cringe, knowing full well that they're probably full of bovine manure.

Good read.

The rotated A in the Aerospike logo reminds me of a system that's fallen over, and now you can't unsee it:

Same with "exactly once delivery".

Trying to read aerospike's front page to figure out what it is reminds me of this: http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/

Oh wow, so this is not ACID, not "Eventual Consistency", but "Eventual Inconsistency"

"A system"? Not sure what you mean by that.

To me, it was immediately apparent that they are making the whole word Aerospike look like a rocket, a motif they repeat through their home-page.

Awesome read and still quite impressed by Aerospike.
