Citrusleaf was founded in 2009 by Gian-Paolo Musumeci, CTO Brian Bulkowski, and vice president of engineering and operations Srini V. Srinivasan. In 2012, the web site Wikibon promoted Aerospike for
transactional analytic applications. It had automatic fail-over, replication, and cross data center
synchronization. In August 2012, Aerospike acquired the database AlchemyDB. AlchemyDB, led by Russell Sullivan, is a hybrid RDBMS/NoSQL-datastore that has been optimized for memory efficiency. In December 2012, online ad broker
Tapad bought an Aerospike flash-based NoSQL database running on SSDs with indices held in RAM. The company also partnered with
Adform,
InMobi, and Vizury in 2014. In February 2015, Aerospike named John Dillon, previously of
Salesforce.com, as its CEO. A round of $32 million of funding was announced on November 18, 2019, led by Triangle Peak Partners. ==Aerospike database==
