Stephen Leung,  director of solution architecture for GridGain, Asia Pacific, will be the featured speaker at the Data Science Sydney Meetup on November 22. His talk is titled, “Getting Started with Apache Ignite as a Distributed Database.”

The event runs from 6-8 p.m. and the venue will be: Spaces Surry Hills: Ground Floor, 111 Flinders St, Surry Hills NSW 2010, Australia.

Summary: Apache Ignite native persistence is a distributed ACID and SQL-compliant store that turns Apache Ignite into a full-fledged distributed SQL database. It allows you to have 0-100% of your data in RAM with guaranteed durability using a broad range of storage technologies, have immediate availability on restart, and achieve high volume read and write scalability with low latency using SQL and ACID transactions.

Learn how to get native persistence up and running, and tips and tricks to get the best performance. In this webinar, Valentin Kulichenko, GridGain’s Lead Architect, will explain:

* What native persistence is, and how it works

* Show step-by-step how to set up Apache Ignite with native persistence

* The best practices for configuration and tuning
