Book: High performance in-memory computing with Apache Ignite has been published

The book "High performance in-memory computing with apache Ignite" has been released and
available at http://leanpub.com/ignite

Print copy of the book is available at Lulu.com & Amazon bookstore.

Support independent publishing: Buy this book on Lulu.
UP1: NOW the book is available for purchase from the Russian federation through PayPal (Ignore the yellow warning).


The goal of the book is to provide a guide for those who really need to implement the In-memory platform in their projects. At the same time, the idea behind the book is not writing a manual.

This book wraps all the topics like in-memory data grid, highly available service grid, streaming and in-memory computing use cases from high-performance computing to get the performance gain. The book will be particularly useful for those, who have the following use cases:

  • You have database bottleneck in your application and want to solve the problem.
  • You have a high volume of ACID transactions in your system.
  • You want to develop and deploy microservices in distributed fashion.
  • You have existing Hadoop ecosystem (OLAP) and want to improve the performance of the Map/Reduce jobs without making any changes in your existing Map/Reduce jobs.
  • You want to share Spark RDD directly in-memory (without storing the state to disk), which can dramatically increase the performance of the Spark jobs.
  • You are planning to migrate to microservices and the web session clustering is the problem for you.
  • You are planning to process continuous never-ending streams and complex events of data in scalable and fault-tolerant fashion.
  • You want to use distributed computations in parallel fashion to gain high performance, low latency, and linear scalability.
  • You heard about Off-heap memory but don't know how to use it in your application.
For every topic, a complete application is delivered, which will help the audience to quick start with the topic. The book is a project-based guide, where each chapter focuses on the complete implementation of a real-world scenario, the commonly occurring challenges in each scenario has also discussed, along with tips and tricks and best practices on how to overcome them. Every chapter is independent and a complete project.

Who is this book for

Target audience of this book will be IT architect, team leaders, a programmer with minimum programming knowledge, who want to get the maximum performance from their applications.

No excessive knowledge is required, though it would be good to be familiar with JAVA and Spring framework. The book is also useful for any reader, who already familiar with Oracle Coherence, Hazelcast, Infinispan or memcached.

See the full table of contents of the book here.

Happy Reading.

Apache Ignite deep dive, SQL engine

Apache Ignite  is an open source memory-centric distributed database, caching and comput- ing platform. From the beginning, it was designed as an in-memory data grid for developing a high-performance software system. So, it’s core architecture design is slightly different from the traditional NoSQL databases, which can simplify building modern applications with a flexible data model and simpler high availability, high scalability.     Moreover, to understand how to design application with any databases or framework properly, you must understand the architecture of the database or framework itself. By getting a better idea of the system, you can solve different problems in your enterprise architecture landscape, can select a comprehensive database or framework that is appropriate for your application and get the maximum benefits from the system. In this article we are going to explore the Apache Ignite SQL engine.      Under the hood...

Quick start with In memory Data Grid, Apache Ignite

UP1: For complete quick start guide, see also the sample chapter of the book "High performance in-memory computing with Apache Ignite" here . Even you can find the sample examples from the GitHub repository . IMDG or In memory data grid is not an in-memory relational database, an NoSQL database or a relational database. It is a different breed of software datastore. The data model is distributed across many servers in a single location or across multiple locations. This distribution is known as a data fabric. This distributed model is known as a ‘shared nothing’ architecture. IMDG has following characteristics: All servers can be active in each site. All data is stored in the RAM of the servers. Servers can be added or removed non-disruptively, to increase the amount of RAM available. The data model is non-relational and is object-based.  Distributed applications written on the platform independent language. The data fabric is resilient, allowing non-disruptive au...
