SQL NYC, The NoSQL & NewSQL Database Meetup
Denis Magda, vice president of Apache Ignite PMC & director of product management at GridGain, will be the featured guest speaker at the June 26 gathering of the SQL NYC, The NoSQL & NewSQL Database Meetup at ThoughtWorks, 99 Madison Ave. (15th Floor), New York, NY.
Attendees will learn the current best-practices for HTAP along with the differences between Apache Cassandra and
Apache Ignite, two of the most-common technologies utilized for Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing.
This fun-filled presentation will cover:
• A detailed comparison of Apache Ignite and Apache
Cassandra for HTAP
• The requirements of running real-time, high volume HTAP
• Architectural best
practices, such as how to use in-memory computing to eliminate trade-offs between consistency, speed and
scale
Over the last decade, traditional database technologies have been pushed beyond their limits
to keep up with the 10x growth of transaction-volumes and 50x growth in data-volumes, combined with the drive for
real-time visibility and responsiveness. Currently, your only choices are to either buy expensive hardware in an
effort to accelerate the wrong architecture, or do what other companies have started to do, utilize technologies
designed for modern hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP.)
