Aerospike's 8.0 release introduces ACID transactions, marking an industry-first achievement for distributed NoSQL databases aimed at large-scale online transaction processing. Analysts suggest this release addresses a crucial issue faced by NoSQL databases, which have traditionally sacrificed consistency for performance. Aerospike operates as a fully in-memory database supporting various data models. Although not widely recognized among developers, it serves significant clients like PayPal and Barclays. The CPO emphasized that despite the addition of transaction support, performance for single operations remains unchanged, with some clients reporting transaction rates nearing 100 million per second.
Aerospike has added ACID transactions to support large-scale online transaction processing applications. This is an industry-first development for distributed NoSQL databases.
The addition of ACID transactions overcomes a significant challenge for NoSQL databases that originally compromised on consistency for performance.
