Scalability in distributed in-memory systems

15:15 / Track 4 / RU / / Download presentation

Platforms for distributed in-memory computing such as Apache Ignite rely on horizontal scaling. The bigger the cluster is, the bigger profit you get. Does adding a second machine double the performance? Does adding ten more give you and order of magnitude change? Is it always this way? What is the responsibility of a framework, and what is responsilbility of a developer?

In this talk we'll examine the most important compromises and contradictions that arise while designing applications with the in-memory systems:

• Pros and cons of different sharding techniques
• Data model adaptation for effective work in a cluster
• Problems of synchronization and coordination in distributed systems
