Why is it necessary to distribute data?
As systems that require data storage and processing evolve, they often reach a point where either the amount of data exceeds the storage capacity, or the workload surpasses the capabilities of a single server.
In such situations, there are two useful data distribution solutions: data sharding and migrating to a distributed database. Both…
This tutorial walks you through the process of creating a Spring Cloud-based RESTful web service that uses Apache Ignite as a high-performance, in-memory database. The service is a containerized application that uses HashiCorp Consul for service discovery and interacts with an Apache Ignite cluster via Spring Data repository abstraction. For containerization, we use Docker.
Apache® Ignite™ is…
Apache Ignite has the ability to scale horizontally, allowing you to handle the data generated by your applications and services. When your Apache Ignite cluster is using excessive memory, you can utilize horizontal scaling, which is one of the fundamental architectural capabilities of Ignite. While the common advice is to "throw more resources into the cluster," it is often not practical or…
There are two significant categories in in-memory computing: In-Memory Database and In-Memory Data Grids. This post aims to present a concise version of thoughts on this topic, with insights gained from a recent analyst call aiding in organizing the information.
Nomenclature of In-Memory Database vs In-Memory Data Grid
Let's start by clarifying the terminology and buzzwords. The term "In-…
