Comparing Apache® Ignite™ and Cassandra™ for Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP)

The 10x growth of transaction volumes, 50x growth in data volumes and drive for real-time visibility and responsiveness over the last decade have pushed traditional technologies including databases beyond their limits. Your choices are either buy expensive hardware to accelerate the wrong architecture, or do what other companies have started to do and invest in technologies being used for modern hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP).

Learn some of the current best practices in HTAP, and the differences between two of the more common technologies companies use: Apache® Cassandra™ and Apache® Ignite™. This session will cover:

  • The requirements for real-time, high volume HTAP
  • Architectural best practices, including how in-memory computing fits in and has eliminated tradeoffs between consistency, speed and scale
  • A detailed comparison of Apache Ignite and Cassandra for HTAP
