When the Ignite project emerged in the Apache Software Foundation, it was thought of as a pure in-memory-solution: a distributed cache that put data into memory to speed access time. But then in 2017 came Apache® Ignite™ 2.1, which saw the debut of Ignite’s Native Persistence module that allowed Ignite to be treated as a full-blown distributed database. Since then Ignite has not depended on an…
Introduction In the first article in this series, we installed Node.js, the Node.js Thin Client package for Ignite and tested an example application. In this article, let's look at a particular scenario where Ignite can really help when working with existing data from another source, such as a Relational Database System. Often in industry, there are systems that have great business value. These…
