Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms that are proven to boost application performance and solve scalability problems by storing and processing massive data sets in RAM and on disk.

The session is tailored for software engineers (with code samples in Java) who thirst for practical experience with in-memory computing technologies. You will be given an overview of in-memory concepts such as caches, databases and data grids combined with a technical deep-dive of the following topics:

• Distributed in-memory cluster deployment strategies
• How data partitioning and replication works in a nutshell
• APIs for data access - key-value, SQL and compute APIs
• Affinity collocation tips and tricks
• Making your cluster durable - persistence and other forms of reliability

Implementation examples presented will utilize Apache Ignite, open-source in-memory computing platform.
