I'm quite surprised to see that there's no Aerospike in this comparison.

Agreed. It's pretty trivial to overwhelm a Redis instance. For ad serving scenarios at high traffic scenarios Aerospike is really where it's at.

  Unlikely you are going to overwhelm Redis in a non-deterministic fashion. What do you even mean by overwhelm? The post only concerns itself with in-memory workloads; I don't think Aerospike is competition in this space, while their advantage is against workloads working against SSD backed datasets. "After Google published a blog post “Cassandra Hits One Million Writes Per Second on Google Compute Engine” – using 300 nodes, we followed the same steps and documented how Aerospike Hits One Million Writes Per Second With Just 50 Nodes On Google Compute Engine. [...] Aerospike on SSD is very comparable to that of RAM. At 100% write, the SSDs are able to sustain 226,000 transactions per second compared to 239,000 for RAM."

    Redis needs only two nodes on GCE to deliver 1M writes per second: https://redislabs.com/blog/nosql-bar-datastax-aerospike-couchbase-redis-google-cloud-platform https://redislabs.com/blog/nosql-bar-datastax-aerospike-couc...

  A single Redis instance uses a single CPU core so yeah, hitting the its limits (no matter how high) is always a possibility. OTOH, there's always the possibility for sharding and clustering a Redis database to scale it up 'n out, thus making "overwhelming" it less trivial.

Similarly, I was hoping to find VoltDB in the mix.

  Why downvote? How is VoltDB not relevant here?

    No idea (I haven't voted here at all), but maybe someone didn't want to make this a long thread naming myriad of NoSQL databases out there?

  I'll try to benchmark it soon. Thank you!

This is only a first try. I'm going to make another review of a large number of NoSQL solutions soon. Aerospike will be observed there.
