I started the AlchemyDB project in early 2010. After two years, the project had graduated to become a hybrid Document-store/GraphDB/RDBMS/redis-store. AlchemyDB was then acquired by Aerospike in early 2012. The next 2 years were spent integrating AlchemyDB’s codebase/architecture/philosophy into Aerospike, eventually yielding Aerospike 3. Four years years after it’s inception, AlchemyDB has provided the right ammunition to catapult Aerospike into the visionary enterprise NOSQL quadrant.
