With Hazelcast we had only good experience. Documentation is great so we did not need to contact support often, but when we were writing to them, we always got right response pretty fast. They also come to Poland to give as trainings in our headquaters.

    I used Hazelcast IMDB both as a cache an replicated maps to store for quick access. It is one of the best tools to use for storing data in the memory. Used in with both Java 8 and Java11.

    Real time computing for large scale data

    4.0
    Aug 29, 2018
    Off-heap memory for distributed computing with micro services architecture. Very much applicable for real time processing of transactions with parallel processing multi threaded architecture. The caching improves the performance and contributes to large scale computing for big data in milli seconds. Nodes configuration and the distributed in memory capability contributes to the performance. NOSQL storage helps scaling up the solution with retrieval and storage with optimum levels.Dynamic data structure configurations add value in cluster management. IMDG is applicable in fraud detection in real time in banking operations. This along with big data and machine learning methodologies will tackle uses cases where real time computing and business outcome is expected.
