Hands-On Design Patterns with Java

Understanding the space-based pattern

The space-based architectural pattern is designed to avoid functional collapse under a high load and maximize scaling. Cloud-based architectures typically implement the space-based architectural pattern. Key to the success of this pattern is the use of distributing shared memory.

This complex approach involves the following:

• Eliminating central database constraints
• Implementing data grids
• Replicating data grids in memory
• Maintaining application data in the replicated memory

With this approach, data is replicated in memory for each processor in use. The next diagram provides an overview of the space-based architectural pattern. Each Processing Unit has connectivity to other processing units as well ...
