| What to compare | Aerospike | OriginChainDB |
|---|---|---|
| Stored data | Records have unique keys and named fields, grouped into sets and namespaces. Source: Aerospike database architecture | Store structured records and use their IDs to link search results and relationships. |
| Relationships | Aerospike Graph uses Gremlin queries over data stored in Aerospike Database. Source: Aerospike Graph architecture | Follow relationships through the graph API. SQL and search use separate calls. |
| Connecting your app | Aerospike clients find the cluster nodes that hold each record. Source: Aerospike database architecture | Use HTTP APIs, SDKs or supported PostgreSQL-compatible operations. |
