Thanks for sharing this - it's great to see this level of detail on an adtech stack. I wanted to ask a little more about the user profiles in Aerospike. What process is writing 12k profiles a sec, and what's the read path - is Aerospike e.g. wired into Nginx using https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-mod-lua https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-mod-lua ? Any gotchas with Aerospike versus e.g. a Cassandra or DynamoDB?

We don't really use Lua: we connect to Aerospike directly, using a C driver. This saves a lot of time and allows sub-1ms responses. I find Aerospike latency a lot more stable compared to that of Cassandra. Our use case is quite simple: we treat Aerospike as a large and fast key-value storage.

  Thank you for your input again! May I ask if you run Aerospike on an in-house cluster to reduce latency, or run on AWS?
