Benchmarking Aerospike on my MacBook [Getting very poor results]

This question was also posed here:

Extremely bad performance on VirtualBox VM

I read on Twitter you’re back up to 25k tps on an old laptop. Awesome! If there was something you did for tweaking and performance tuning, would love to hear it. Meanwhile, have a great weekend! Edit: Whoops! Now I understand your 25k tps was on a separate box, not the VM you were running. So, still an open issue. Q: I understand you’re running Ubuntu in the Virtual Box. What’s the native OS on the box you’re running the VM?

My response here would be about the same:

I cannot speak to whether or not this is expected since this is not a configuration that we actively performance test. A quick search for VM benchmarks yields VirtualBox being the least performant option.

Would it be possible to POC on EC2’s infrastructure? We also provide AWS Tuning Docs to help get you started.
