Review on Aerospike by Bennie Wilks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent choice for building scalable SQL database container environments

I like that it's easy enoughtit runs across all major cloud providers (AWS/Azure).

And also supports Docker which makes deployment easier than anything else out there at this time! Not much but if you are looking into an open source DB solution then definitely give aerspikesql or even their API some consideration as well - very flexible & powerful engine under hood! The product itself has been working great since we started migrating our applications from Oracle RAC environment over dockerized containers onto AWS ECS using Amazon Aurora Postgres Database Engine option so far everything works just fine no issues reported yet : ).

Pros
  • Relatively low start up costs compared to others
  • Easy migration process between clouds via standard tools(Kops, CDK etc)
Cons
  • Documentation overall is not too pretty
  • Some minor restrictions in terms when having one master node for whole cluster with replication strategy defined
