GridGain technology analyst Akmal Chaudhri will speak at the Apache Spark and Distributed Computing Maryland Meetup on April 5. The title of his talk: "Apache Spark and Apache Ignite: make streaming analytics real with in-memory computing."

In his talk, Akmal will drill down into several examples using Apache Spark and Apache Ignite. Learn how Apache Spark is integrated with Apache Ignite through standard Spark APIs, and how Spark benefits from processing data in-memory in Apache Ignite. Specifically this session will show:

- how to use Ignite as an in-memory database for Spark applications
- how to perform streaming analytics by deploying Spark stream pipeline
- how to process data stored in Ignite with Spark RDDs and DataFrames
