Apache® Ignite™: An In-Memory Backbone for Microservices-Based Architectures
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are used to build flexible, independently deployable software systems. Microservices decompose services down to small pieces and use lightweight protocols to allow processes to communicate with each other over a network. This architectural approach is becoming increasingly popular, especially in high-availability systems. However, microservices-based solutions can become victims of their own success as greater and greater demands are placed on the systems that use them.
When systems that rely on microservices are used under high load or have to process rapidly growing volumes of data, they usually face the same issues and difficulties as applications that are not microservices-based. Disk-backed databases become a performance bottleneck as they can no longer keep up with growing volumes of data that have to be stored and processed in parallel. This degrades application performance and ultimately causes instability.
This webinar discusses how in-memory computing using Apache® Ignite™ can overcome the performance limitations common to microservices architectures built using traditional database architectures.
VP, Developer Relations in R&D at GridGain; Apache Ignite committer and PMC member
Denis Magda is an open-source software enthusiast who began his journey by working first with the technology evangelism group of Sun Microsystems and then with the Java engineering team of Oracle. During his years at Sun and Oracle, Denis became a seasoned Java professional, deepening and expanding his knowledge of the technology by contributing to the Java Development Kit, architecting Java solutions, and building local Java communities. Denis now continues his journey by supporting the Apache Software Foundation and working with GridGain Systems. For the foundation, he contributes to Apache Ignite as an Apache Ignite committer and a member of the Project Management Committee. As the head of the GridGain Developer Relations team, Denis works with software engineers and architects to help them develop their expertise in in-memory computing. You will find Denis at conferences, workshops, and other events sharing his knowledge about Apache Ignite, distributed systems, and open-source communities.
