Capital markets applications often require high performance, massive scalability, and high-performance data access across the enterprise to meet the demands of modern, digital business activities. In addition, digital transformations may require capital markets companies to design architectures that enable multiple business applications to access data from multiple, disparate data sources in real time.
Spread betting offers some compelling advantages, including low entry and transaction costs, preferential tax treatment, and a diverse array of products and options. Traders can bet on any type of event for which there is a measurable outcome that might go in either of two directions – for example, housing prices, the value of a stock-market index, or the difference in the scores of two teams in a sporting event.
Apache Ignite can scale horizontally to accommodate the data that your applications and services generate. However, in practice, most of us cannot scale out a cluster instantly.
In this webinar, Ivan Rakov, Apache Ignite Committer, will introduce several architectural techniques that can help you keep your cluster operational and your applications running even if memory becomes a scarce resource. During the webinar demo you will learn how to use those techniques in practice. Topics covered include:
Serverless computing allows you to design and build scalable cloud-native applications without thinking about infrastructure provisioning and orchestration. With Apache Ignite, you can bootstrap an in-memory cluster in the cloud and access data 100-1000x faster than with disk-based databases.
In this webinar, Denis Magda will discuss architectural patterns and design considerations for deploying Apache Ignite in a serverless computing environment. In particular, you will learn the following:
Apache Ignite and GridGain can be used as a simple cache, an in-memory data grid (IMDG), and as an in-memory database (IMDB). These data management patterns can be combined with Ignite integration facilities to function as a Digital Integration Hub (DIH) for real-time data access across data sources and applications. Common uses for the DIH architecture include:
Networking is a core pillar of any distributed system and is responsible for cluster-node discovery procedures, peer-to-peer communication between nodes, and failure handling. Network architecture can greatly influence operational performance and efficiency.
This webinar will introduce you to the role of the networking layer in distributed systems with Apache Ignite as an example. You will gain practical insights and learn how to maximize the performance and reliability of your applications running on distributed systems. In particular, you will learn:
Debugging distributed-system applications can be more complex than debugging traditional monolithic applications. As API calls jump across nodes in the cluster, it can be tricky to follow the execution just by analyzing application logs. Tracing adds a useful tool to the root-cause-analysis toolbox. Tracing makes it easier to follow the execution path, analyze timings, and align API calls with logs and stack traces. Apache Ignite 2.9 introduces new tracing instrumentation that is based on the OpenCensus/OpenTelemetry standard.
Apache Ignite is an excellent tool for external RDBMS, NoSQL or Hadoop database acceleration and offloading. The Ignite in-memory computing platform can power real-time applications that need to process terabytes of data with in-memory speed.

Many machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) platforms are slow in production environments. It can sometimes take hours or days to update ML models. This is a result of having the ML processing run on a different system from the operational transactions system in order to avoid a performance degradation.
In this webinar, Glenn Wiebe, GridGain Solution Architect, will introduce developers to Apache Ignite as an in-memory database (IMDB). He will review how an IMDB differs from a cache or an in-memory data grid (IMDG). He will discuss the key characteristics of an IMDB and also highlight core Ignite features and facilities. Finally, Glenn will demonstrate a repeatable and extensible process to:
Managing distributed systems can be complex and time consuming because there are numerous moving parts. Having a consistent set of tools can give a clear picture of how clusters are performing, when to take action and avoid potential problems, and how to optimize configurations.

Managing distributed systems can be complex and time consuming because there are numerous moving parts. Having a consistent set of tools can give a clear picture of how clusters are performing, when to take action and avoid potential problems, and how to optimize configurations.
The Apache Ignite transactional engine can execute distributed ACID transactions which span multiple nodes, data partitions, and caches/tables. This key-value API differs slightly from traditional SQL-based transactions but its reliability and flexibility lets you achieve an optimal balance between consistency and performance at scale by following several guidelines.
Apache Ignite’s ANSI-99 SQL support provides application developers a classical SQL database experience while enabling in-memory speeds at petabyte scale for a variety of workloads. Concise SQL syntax and availability of JDBC and ODBC drivers shields the complexity of Ignite’s distributed architecture from developers and allows them to easily manage and query distributed datasets.
Nevertheless, there are some essentials and design patterns that developers should consider when deploying Apache Ignite. Join this webinar to learn how to:
When working with multiple data centers, it is important to ensure high availability of your GridGain cluster. The GridGain Enterprise and Ultimate Editions, built on Apache Ignite®, include a Data Center Replication feature that allows data transfer between caches in distinct topologies, even located in different geographic locations.
Using code examples, we will cover the following topics:
Apache Ignite can function in a strong consistency mode which keeps application records in sync across all primary and backup replicas. It also supports distributed ACID transactions that allow you to update multiple entries stored on different cluster nodes and in various caches/tables. In addition, consistency and transactional guarantees are put in effect for memory and disk tiers on every cluster node.
Apache Ignite 2.8 includes over 1,900 upgrades and fixes that enhance almost all components of the platform. The release notes include hundreds of line items cataloging the improvements. In this webinar Ignite community members demonstrate and dissect new capabilities related to production maintenance, monitoring, and machine learning including:
Over the last decade, the 10x growth of transaction volumes, 50x growth in data volumes, and drive for real-time response and analytics has pushed relational databases beyond their limits. Scaling an existing RDBMS vertically with hardware is expensive and limited. Moving to NoSQL requires new skills and major changes to applications. Ripping out the existing RDBMS and replacing it with another RDBMS with a lower TCO is still risky.
