Amsterdam Kubernetes/Cloud-Native Meetup
The organizers of the Amsterdam Kubernetes/Cloud-Native Meetup are trying something new!
GridGain's technical evangelist Akmal Chaudhri will give a talk followed by a hands-on workshop titled, "In-Memory Computing Essentials." The workshop will be based in Java.
Abstract: Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms that boost highly-loaded applications, research projects, risk analysis and fraud detection tasks by storing and processing massive amounts of data in memory and on disk across a cluster of machines.
These capabilities and benefits will be demonstrated with the usage of Apache Ignite which is the in-memory computing platform that is durable, strongly consistent, and highly available with powerful SQL, key-value and processing APIs.
By the end of the workshop the attendees will learn how to:
- Deploy a distributed Apache Ignite cluster.
- Preload data into the cluster deciding how much RAM is to be available for storage needs.
- Create custom calculations and algorithms and utilize cluster’s resources for their execution.
- Solve optimizations problems by simulating the process of biological evolution.
- Apply machine learning algorithms supported by Apache Ignite.
