Apache Ignite Quick Start Guide

Preface

With the advent of microservice architecture, the software innovation life cycle became much faster. We are now able to build small, cohesive services that communicate with each other and be scaled and developed independently. Some of the key non-functional requirements of this style are scalability, availability, and high performance. In-memory distributed data fabrics play a key role in fulfilling these requirements.

Apache Ignite is a stable, feature rich, and distributed in-memory platform designed to scale and process large volumes of data. It can be integrated with both microservices as well as monolithic systems—and, for that matter, can also be used as a scalable, highly available, and highly performant deployment platform ...
