With one hit for a read operation, no matter how many nodes within the cluster (i.e. total volume) and two for a write operation (synchronous write operations) the solutions predictability for the I/O is humongous. The consistency in latency expectations (much lower than any similar product out their) over a huge range of data volume allows for a great development experience. When one looks at the technology and the algorithmic implementation int he product it looks like a another behemoth of a tech-startup in the making. I think I had read about Larry Page talking about Silicon valley not solving complex technical problems, I guess he missed Aerospike ;-) On a serious I see this in-memory NoSQL database building up a huge fan base due to the range of application segments that it can cover, adtech, e/m-commerce, fintech, Telco, etc. Check it out, build on it, if you see something that you don't like or don't understand, hit them with questions. The tech leads are waiting to answer.

Hi Gary4gar, Read the points that you stated in your question. If you focus on growth (clearly your wins are going to bring more data updates as your increase the customer base) you should look into a solution that does not tie you down with data model and also does not expect you to worry about sharding in the future. Having done sharding and when one keeps growing the data volume and having to do shards it becomes painful and hurts the development flow. Been there many time and done it quite a bit myself. (Am a technical guys myself, http://www.linkedin.com/in/sukantag)

Look for a NoSQL solution which will help in the flexi-schema model. Helps you add different types of data models relatively easily. Check out Aerospike (http://www.aerospike.com), the product scales like scaling problems have disappeared from this planet. All of the characteristics that you would need based on what you have stated is in the product. Best of all it is free for startups. Just give it shot. Open Source server and client libraries in multiple programming languages. (Am a big "C" and Python guys so like them client libs a lot). Lots of startups and many large software companies use them.

If you like it and works for your application tell others, if not tell us what did not work.

I ain't sellin and you ain't buyin;
