Aerospike expands free developer training as enterprises build more real-time AI applications. June 25, 2026 Free hands-on training to quickly build and confidently scale real-time applications as agentic AI drives high-scale workloads across the enterprise. Aerospike Inc. today opened its Aerospike Academy training program to all developers and operators worldwide. Previously available only to paid enterprise customers, Academy's structured, self-paced, and interactive courses are now free for anyone building on the Aerospike Database. Aerospike's sub-millisecond latency and extreme scale were once the domain of the largest consumer applications. As enterprises move agentic AI into production, mainstream operational workloads now require the same real-time data, scale, and predictable performance. Combined with Aerospike's AI-native application development experience, Aerospike's open-source Community Edition (or a free trial of Aerospike Enterprise), developers, their coding agents, and operators have everything to quickly start and confidently scale a new generation of agentic AI applications. "For most of Aerospike's history, organizations came to us because they had speed and scale problems most organizations didn't face," said Srini Srinivasan, founder and CTO, Aerospike. "Opening Aerospike Academy to everyone is how we welcome all the developers arriving at that requirement for the first time, and give experienced teams the training to expand Aerospike across the enterprise." From start to scale, with beginner and advanced training Aerospike Academy offers structured, self-paced learning for every level of experience, from the fundamentals needed to build real-time AI applications to advanced operational topics. The course catalog includes: * Learning Launchpads: short video lessons paired with quizzes to reinforce core concepts. * Hands-on Modules: interactive exercises and demo environments to practice applied skills. * Multi-hour Hands-on Workshops: guided lab work and assessments that award digital badges on completion. Built to pair with Aerospike's AI-native development experience Academy's training maps directly to the unified, AI-native application development experience Aerospike unveiled earlier this year. The new developer experience is purpose-built so that developers and AI coding assistants can prototype, integrate, deploy, and troubleshoot production applications on Aerospike's real-time NoSQL database. Highlights include: * Aerospike Voyager, a visual developer workspace for exploring data and querying a cluster conversationally. * An embedded MCP Server that connects AI agents directly to Aerospike. * Updated Aerospike Developer SDKs for Java and Python. Together, these let developers and their agents generate production-ready code quickly. Patterns carry from prototype to production scale with no second system to learn, and no architectural rework as load grows. How to get started Aerospike Academy is available now at learn.aerospike.com. Aerospike Voyager Preview, including the Aerospike MCP Server, is available for download at aerospike.com/voyager, and the new Developer SDKs for Java and Python are available at developer.aerospike.com. Getting-started guides and sample projects are included with each download. About Aerospike Aerospike is the real-time database for mission-critical use cases and workloads, including machine learning, generative, and agentic AI. Aerospike powers millions of transactions per second with millisecond latency, at a fraction of the cost of other databases. Global leaders, including Adobe, Airtel, Barclays, Criteo, DBS Bank, Experian, Grab, HDFC Bank, PayPal, Sony Interactive Entertainment, The Trade Desk, and Wayfair, rely on Aerospike for customer 360, fraud detection, real-time bidding, profile stores, recommendation engines, and other use cases.

Aerospike has launched an AI-native application development experience designed for both human developers and AI coding assistants. The release includes Aerospike Voyager, a visual developer workspace; an embedded MCP Server; and updated Developer SDKs. The tools enable developers and AI agents to explore data visually, query clusters conversationally and generate production-ready code in as little as five minutes. Voyager is available as a desktop application for macOS, Windows and Linux, whilst the MCP Server integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other development tools. The new Developer SDKs feature native, chainable syntax separating application logic from database operations. The release follows recent recognition including four Data Breakthrough Awards and SiliconANGLE Media's 2026 Tech Innovation CUBEd Award for Most Innovative Data Platform.

Aerospike Database 8 named NoSQL Solution of the Year in the 2026 Data Breakthrough Awards. GlobeNewswire | Aerospike Inc Today at 6:02am PDT MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Aerospike Inc. today announced that Database 8 has been named "NoSQL Solution of the Year" in the seventh annual Data Breakthrough Awards program. This marks the fourth time that Aerospike has been honored as a "Solution of the Year" by these awards. Aerospike earned the recognition for Aerospike Database 8, which addresses long-standing limitations in NoSQL systems that continue to hold back the deployment of transactional and AI applications in enterprises. Aerospike Database 8 is the first real-time, distributed NoSQL database to guarantee strict serializability of ACID transactions at the scale, throughput, and predictable low latency modern applications require. As enterprises move from AI pilots to production systems that act and adapt in real time, the underlying data layer becomes a bottleneck and needs to be modernized. Aerospike Database 8 supports these environments by delivering continuous access to fresh operational data, reliable context, and fast feedback loops for machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI applications. More than half of Aerospike revenue now comes from customers running AI-powered workloads in production. "Aerospike Database 8 lets organizations run mission-critical transactions and production AI workloads on a single real-time data platform without giving up consistency, performance, or cost efficiency," said Subbu Iyer, CEO of Aerospike. "This award shows the increasing demand for data infrastructure that supports applications working with live data on a global scale." Aerospike previously won Data Breakthrough Awards for Graph DBS Solution of the Year, In-memory Solution, and NoSQL Solution of the Year. Each year, the Data Breakthrough Awards conducts the most comprehensive analysis of the data technology industry. In 2026, over 3,500 nominations from around the globe were evaluated.
