Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling
There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.

Adapting to changing data needs with reduced development time and schema flexibility
Amazon SimpleDB is beneficial to me due to its reduced development time, adaptability, improved agility, and its ability to handle unstructured data. It also offers schema flexibility, which aids me in documentation, version control, modular design, data normalization, and denormalization. With this, I have a clear understanding of the data, considering future challenges, and designing for expansion.
