Performance
Even with big data scale out architectures on commodity hardware, efficiency matters. Better efficiency of the platform lowers cost. If the architecture can handle a given workload with a fraction of the hardware, it will result in reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Apex provides several advanced mechanisms to optimize efficiency, such as stream locality and parallel partitioning, which will be covered in Chapter 4, Scalability, Low Latency, and Performance.
Apex is capable of very low latency processing (< 10 ms), and is well suited for use cases such as the real-time threat detection as discussed earlier. Apex can be used to deliver latency processing Service Level Agreement (SLA) in conjunction with speculative execution ...
