title: How is aerospike different from other key-value nosql databases?
body: <p><a href="http://www.aerospike.com/docs/architecture/" rel="noreferrer">Aerospike</a> is a key-value, in-memory, operational NoSQL database with ACID properties which support complex objects and easy to scale. But I have already used something which does absolutely the same. </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://redis.io/" rel="noreferrer">Redis</a> is also a key-value, in-memory (but persistent to disk) NoSQL database. It also support different complex objects. But in comparison to Aerospike, Redis was in use for a lot of time, already have an active community and a lot of projects developed in it.</p>
  
  <p>So what is the difference between aerospike and other no-sql key-value databases like redis. Is there a particular place which is better suited for aerospike.</p>
  
  <p>P.S. I am looking for an answer from people who used at least one of these dbs (preferably both) in real world and havend real life experience (not copy-pastes from official website).</p>
