Aerospike (intermediate)
High performance NoSQL DB with Python and Java - two days
Welcome to the two-day workshop on "Aerospike: High-Performance NoSQL Database," focusing on practical examples in Python and Java. Aerospike is a leading NoSQL database platform known for its lightning-fast performance, scalability, and reliability, making it a top choice for real-time, big data applications.
This course is designed for developers, database administrators, and software architects who wish to leverage Aerospike to build high-performance applications. Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Aerospike's architecture, features, and how to effectively implement solutions using both Python and Java.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, participants will:
- Understand the key features and architecture of the Aerospike database.
- Learn how to install, configure, and secure an Aerospike cluster.
- Gain hands-on experience with the Aerospike client libraries for Python and Java.
- Master the CRUD operations in Aerospike using Python and Java.
- Explore advanced Aerospike functionalities such as secondary indexes, user-defined functions (UDFs), and aggregations.
- Develop the ability to design and implement scalable applications using Aerospike.
Prerequisites
Participants should have:
- Basic understanding of NoSQL databases.
- Working knowledge of Python and Java programming languages.
- Familiarity with database concepts and operations.
- Basics understanding of CLI
- SSH capable system
