Brian Bulkowski, founder of Aerospike, joins Chip Chat to talk about how Aerospike is facilitating a new class of databases for Internet-scale customers. Aerospike is a database company that created a ground-up platform to support the larger datasets and operational databases driven by use cases like retail catalogs, fraud detection, and telecommunications. In this interview, Bulkowski discusses how Aerospike is working to support customers generating terabytes of data from billions of transactions every day and shares his thoughts on Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory, which Aerospike has found to reduce the restart time for an 8.7 TB database by up to 135x[1].
