Aerospike + Persistent Memory = Voila!
summary
PayPal shows Aerospike running on Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory to cut footprint and ops cost: standard nodes move from ~6.4TB to ~24TB (and higher) enabling 10‑node tests at 25B/50B/100B keys, with 50B stopping in ~2 minutes, warm start <0.6 minutes and cold start ~1 hour, while full rebalance can reach ~34 hours at 100B. Inventory hits ~2,000 Aerospike servers across 100+ clusters; measured outcomes include ~30% CapEx reduction (example: $1.3M→$0.9M on a purchase) and faster rolling upgrades.
