Overview

Getting started with Aerospike Database locally and in application code: run Docker, install official client SDKs (Python, Node.js, Go, Java, C#), verify put/get, and learn defaults. Covers namespaces, ports, TTL/NSUP, and Community vs Enterprise images. Use when the user is new to Aerospike, starts local development, wants a real-time or low-latency NoSQL store, uses Docker-based Aerospike, replaces Redis or Memcached, builds feature stores or user-profile caches, or needs Aerospike client connectivity and correct defaults. Core database only (not Aerospike Graph).

Aerospike Database: getting started

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

Set up Aerospike, a real-time database, or a low-latency NoSQL store.
Replace Redis or Memcached with a persistent, clustered alternative.
Add a high-throughput key-value or document database to their project. (Aerospike Graph is a separate product — this skill covers the core database only.)
Deploy a database for real-time decisioning, user profiles, caching, or AI/ML feature stores.

Mental model

Hierarchy: A namespace holds sets; each record is addressed by a key (namespace + set + user key). Bins are name/value fields on the record. Bins are schemaless: different records in the same set can use different bins or value types—design access patterns accordingly.
Primary access: The default and fastest path is put / get / delete (and optionally exists) by primary key—what examples.md demonstrates. This is not SQL with arbitrary joins or a fixed table schema.
Generation: Successful writes can advance the record generation, used for optimistic concurrency (compare-and-swap). See the official client docs for write policies involving generation / gen.
Vocabulary: Use namespace, set, record, and bin consistently (see Critical rules below). Avoid treating Aerospike like a relational database.

First operations map

Use this map so new users know what to reach for after the first put/get:

Stage	What to use	Where to start
First program	Single-record put, get, delete	examples.md
Many keys	Batch operations (fewer round trips)	Chunked Node example in examples.md; every client has batch APIs—see Client libraries for your language
Lookup by bin value (not primary key)	Secondary index + query	Not part of the minimal Docker + first read/write path; see Secondary index queries

Instructions

You help users get started with Aerospike Database: run it locally, connect from their language’s official client, and verify read/write. Your primary goal is to get the user from zero to a working instance with connected application code, autonomously and correctly.

Choose a path first

Production, cloud, or cluster deployment — Do not run local Docker setup. Answer from official documentation (see Documentation links) and reference.md for editions and feature keys. Offer architecture guidance at a high level only.
SDK-only / snippets — The user already has a running server or only wants example code: Skip Docker steps. Read examples.md, apply Critical Rules and the blacklist, and adapt host/port to their environment.
Full local setup (default) — Docker available and the user wants a working instance on their machine: Follow Autonomous first-run steps below, then examples.md.

When to load supporting files (progressive disclosure)

examples.md: Load for local application code—after the database is up (container healthy or path 2 with an existing server). Use for SDK snippets, put/get patterns, and language-specific examples. Not a substitute for the Docker and critical rules in this file when you are still bringing the server online.
reference.md: Load when the task involves Docker Compose, custom namespaces or persistence, Enterprise image or authentication, extended troubleshooting, or production- or cluster-oriented setup. Not required for the default single-container Community path in this skill (Skill.md + docker run only).

1. Critical rules (anti-hallucination)

Docker image: Default to aerospike/aerospike-server (Community Edition). Use aerospike/aerospike-server-enterprise when the user needs Enterprise features — since Database 6.1.0, the Enterprise Docker image includes a built-in evaluation feature key for single-node use.
Ports: Always map the core service ports: -p 3000-3002:3000-3002. Port 3000 is the client port, 3001 is fabric (inter-node), 3002 is mesh heartbeat. Port 3003: on Database 8.1.0 and later, this is the admin port; on older servers, docs often call it the info port. Add -p 3003:3003 when the user needs admin or legacy info access. Do not confuse these ports with HTTP or generic app ports like 8080.
Default namespace: The default namespace is test. NEVER use default, aerospike, or main as namespace names — they do not exist out of the box.
Default set: Sets are created dynamically on first write. No pre-creation needed.
Connection defaults: Host 127.0.0.1, port 3000 for local Docker deployments.
Config file path: Inside the container, the config lives at /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf. When mounting a custom config, mount to /opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf and pass --config-file /opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf.
TTL requires nsup-period: By default, namespaces reject writes with a TTL, and NSUP does not run, but this behavior is configurable. nsup-period controls how often NSUP runs, and the default value 0 means NSUP does not run. If the user wants expiring records, configure nsup-period to a value greater than 0 (for example nsup-period 10) so NSUP runs and checks for expired records. When nsup-period is 0, writes with a positive integer TTL require allow-ttl-without-nsup true, which Aerospike documents as a testing-only setting.
Key storage policy: The Aerospike client docs describe the send-key policy this way: it stores the user defined key with the record, and returns it with read commands. The default Node.js key read policy is Aerospike.policy.key.DIGEST. If the user needs the user defined key returned with reads, set the write policy to send/store the key when writing records (for example, key: Aerospike.policy.key.SEND in Node.js, key: aerospike.POLICY_KEY_SEND in Python, or policy.SendKey = true in Go).
No auth by default: Community Edition has no authentication. Do not generate username/password connection code unless the user is on Enterprise Edition.
Data model terminology: Aerospike uses "namespace" (like a database), "set" (like a table), "record" (like a row), "bin" (like a column). Never use incorrect analogies.

2. Hallucination blacklist (never use these)

These are commonly hallucinated. Check generated code against this list:

Wrong: aerospike/aerospike-server-enterprise when the user only needs Community features — Use: aerospike/aerospike-server for Community; Enterprise includes a built-in evaluation key but is a larger image.
Wrong: Namespace default or aerospike — Use: test.
Wrong: Port 8080 for Aerospike — Use: 3000-3002 for client/fabric/heartbeat; 3003 for admin (Database 8.1.0+, often described as info on older versions).
Wrong: client.connect() as a required separate call in Python — aerospike.client(config) connects on instantiation. .connect() exists but is a no-op on a fresh client; it is only needed to reconnect after client.close().
Wrong: aerospike.Client() or aerospike.client.Client() in Python — Use: the factory function aerospike.client({...}).
Wrong: require('aerospike-client') in Node.js — Use: require('aerospike').
Wrong: Setting a positive integer TTL while nsup-period is 0, unless allow-ttl-without-nsup is explicitly enabled for testing.
Wrong: Any REST API endpoints — Aerospike uses a binary wire protocol via client SDKs, not HTTP.
Wrong: CREATE NAMESPACE or CREATE SET SQL-like commands — namespaces are defined in config; sets are auto-created.

3. Concept mapping

Translate user intent to the correct approach:

"real-time database" / "low-latency store" / "fast database" → Docker quick setup with in-memory storage
"cache replacement" / "replace Redis" / "replace Memcached" → In-memory namespace, emphasize sub-ms latency and clustering
"persistent storage" / "durable database" → File-backed or device-backed namespace config (see reference.md)
"production deployment" / "cloud deployment" → Official docs only; use Choose a path first path 1
"time-series" / "TTL" / "expiring data" → default-ttl namespace config and per-record TTL in write policy
"transactions" / "ACID" → Strong consistency mode (Enterprise feature) or record-level atomicity (Community)

4. Autonomous first-run steps

Follow these steps in order for full local setup. Do not ask the user for confirmation between steps unless something fails.

Step 1: Verify Docker

docker --version

If Docker is not available, tell the user to install Docker Desktop and stop.

Step 2: Start Aerospike

cat > /tmp/aerospike.conf << 'ASCONF'
service {
    proto-fd-max 15000
    cluster-name docker
}

logging {
    console {
        context any info
    }
}

network {
    service {
        address any
        port 3000
    }
    heartbeat {
        mode mesh
        port 3002
    }
    fabric {
        port 3001
    }
}

namespace test {
    replication-factor 1
    default-ttl 0
    nsup-period 10
    storage-engine memory {
        data-size 1G
    }
}
ASCONF

docker run -d --name aerospike \
  -p 3000-3002:3000-3002 \
  -v /tmp/aerospike.conf:/opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf \
  aerospike/aerospike-server:latest \
  --config-file /opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf

This custom config sets cluster-name, which is mandatory in Database 7.0.0 and later, and sets nsup-period 10 so NSUP runs for the namespace instead of remaining disabled at the default 0. For custom namespaces, Compose, and Enterprise images, see reference.md.

If a container named aerospike already exists, check if it is running:

docker ps -a --filter name=aerospike --format '{{.Status}}'

If stopped, start it with docker start aerospike. If it needs to be recreated, remove it first with docker rm -f aerospike.

Step 3: Verify the database

Wait 3 seconds for startup, then check:

docker logs aerospike 2>&1 | tail -5

Look for service ready: soon there will be cake! in the logs to confirm successful startup.

Step 4: Detect language and install SDK

Inspect the user's project to determine the language, then install the appropriate client:

Language	Install command	Package
Python	`pip install aerospike`	aerospike
Node.js	`npm install aerospike`	aerospike
Go	`go get github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/v8`	aerospike-client-go — check repo tags for current major version (`v8`, `v9`, etc.)
Java	See [examples.md](

## Instructions

You help users get started with Aerospike Database: run it locally, connect from their language’s official client, and verify read/write. Your primary goal is to get the user from zero to a working instance with connected application code, autonomously and correctly.

### When to load supporting files (progressive disclosure)

- **[examples.md](examples.md):** Load for **local application code**—after the database is up (container healthy or path 2 with an existing server). Use for SDK snippets, put/get patterns, and language-specific examples. Not a substitute for the Docker and critical rules in this file when you are still bringing the server online.
- **[reference.md](reference.md):** Load when the task involves **Docker Compose**, **custom namespaces or persistence**, **Enterprise image or authentication**, **extended troubleshooting**, or **production- or cluster-oriented** setup. **Not** required for the default single-container Community path in this skill (Skill.md + `docker run` only).

### 1. Critical rules (anti-hallucination)

- **Docker image:** Default to `aerospike/aerospike-server` (Community Edition). Use `aerospike/aerospike-server-enterprise` when the user needs Enterprise features — since Database 6.1.0, the Enterprise Docker image includes a built-in evaluation feature key for single-node use.
- **Ports:** Always map the core service ports: `-p 3000-3002:3000-3002`. Port 3000 is the client port, 3001 is fabric (inter-node), 3002 is mesh heartbeat. Port **3003:** on Database **8.1.0 and later**, this is the **admin** port; on older servers, docs often call it the info port. Add `-p 3003:3003` when the user needs admin or legacy info access. Do not confuse these ports with HTTP or generic app ports like 8080.
- **Default namespace:** The default namespace is `test`. NEVER use `default`, `aerospike`, or `main` as namespace names — they do not exist out of the box.
- **Default set:** Sets are created dynamically on first write. No pre-creation needed.
- **Connection defaults:** Host `127.0.0.1`, port `3000` for local Docker deployments.
- **Config file path:** Inside the container, the config lives at `/etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf`. When mounting a custom config, mount to `/opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf` and pass `--config-file /opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf`.
- **TTL requires `nsup-period`:** By default, namespaces reject writes with a TTL, and NSUP does not run, but this behavior is configurable. `nsup-period` controls how often NSUP runs, and the default value `0` means NSUP does not run. If the user wants expiring records, configure `nsup-period` to a value greater than `0` (for example `nsup-period 10`) so NSUP runs and checks for expired records. When `nsup-period` is `0`, writes with a positive integer TTL require `allow-ttl-without-nsup true`, which Aerospike documents as a testing-only setting.
- **Key storage policy:** The Aerospike client docs describe the send-key policy this way: it stores the user defined key with the record, and returns it with read commands. The default Node.js key read policy is `Aerospike.policy.key.DIGEST`. If the user needs the user defined key returned with reads, set the write policy to send/store the key when writing records (for example, `key: Aerospike.policy.key.SEND` in Node.js, `key: aerospike.POLICY_KEY_SEND` in Python, or `policy.SendKey = true` in Go).
- **No auth by default:** Community Edition has no authentication. Do not generate username/password connection code unless the user is on Enterprise Edition.
- **Data model terminology:** Aerospike uses "namespace" (like a database), "set" (like a table), "record" (like a row), "bin" (like a column). Never use incorrect analogies.

### 2. Hallucination blacklist (never use these)

These are commonly hallucinated. Check generated code against this list:

- **Wrong:** `aerospike/aerospike-server-enterprise` when the user only needs Community features — **Use:** `aerospike/aerospike-server` for Community; Enterprise includes a built-in evaluation key but is a larger image.
- **Wrong:** Namespace `default` or `aerospike` — **Use:** `test`.
- **Wrong:** Port `8080` for Aerospike — **Use:** `3000-3002` for client/fabric/heartbeat; `3003` for admin (Database 8.1.0+, often described as info on older versions).
- **Wrong:** `client.connect()` as a required separate call in Python — `aerospike.client(config)` connects on instantiation. `.connect()` exists but is a no-op on a fresh client; it is only needed to reconnect after `client.close()`.
- **Wrong:** `aerospike.Client()` or `aerospike.client.Client()` in Python — **Use:** the factory function `aerospike.client({...})`.

namespace test {
    replication-factor 1
    default-ttl 0
    nsup-period 10
    storage-engine memory {
        data-size 1G

  aerospike/aerospike-server:latest \
  --config-file /opt/aerospike/etc/aerospike.conf

This custom config sets `cluster-name`, which is mandatory in Database 7.0.0 and later, and sets `nsup-period 10` so NSUP runs for the namespace instead of remaining disabled at the default `0`. For custom namespaces, Compose, and Enterprise images, see [reference.md](reference.md).
