Aerospike, founded in 2009, develops a real-time NoSQL database platform engineered for high-throughput, low-latency workloads at very large scale. Its core product processes millions of transactions per second with millisecond latency and is designed to scale seamlessly from gigabytes to petabytes. The platform serves as a data foundation for mission-critical applications across industries including payments, e-commerce, financial services, advertising technology, and interactive entertainment. Named customers include Adobe, PayPal, Wayfair, Barclays, and Sony Interactive Entertainment.
At the heart of the platform is the patented Hybrid Memory Architecture™, which delivers memory-like latency while storing data on SSDs rather than RAM. This approach reduces server footprint and infrastructure costs compared with conventional in-memory database architectures, making it particularly relevant for organisations that need extreme performance without a proportionate increase in hardware spend.
The technical stack spans real-time transaction processing, SSD-optimised storage, and increasingly, AI data infrastructure. Aerospike positions its platform as a foundation for real-time AI workloads - including predictive, generative, and agentic applications - serving use cases such as fraud detection, real-time bidding, customer 360 platforms, and recommendation systems. Engineers working at Aerospike operate at the intersection of database internals, distributed systems, and large-scale infrastructure optimisation.
