The combination of Aerospike’s multi-modal database capabilities, including graph database, and the upcoming vector support, offers interesting possibilities. CEO Subbu Iyer noted that vectors and graphs have a lot of synergy and can bring more context and intelligence to AI. Aerospike is also planning to add more core database capabilities to its platform, including enhanced multi-record transactions, point-in-time recovery, and improved observability and management functionality.
Key takeaways:
- Aerospike, a real-time NoSQL database platform, has raised $109 million in a new round of funding to support its expansion and add new AI capabilities.
- The company, which started in 2009, has been growing as a multi-model database and is increasingly being used to enable AI and machine learning applications.
- While Aerospike currently supports AI and ML use cases without native vector support, it is building out vector capabilities which it plans to release this quarter.
- The combination of Aerospike’s existing multi-modal database capabilities, including graph database, alongside the in-development vector support, has potential for creating powerful AI combinations.
