What is Apache Ignite?

Apache Ignite is an open source, in-memory computing platform normally deployed as an in-memory data grid. Ignite can support digital transformation initiatives focused on improving end user or customer experience, streamlining operational efficiency, meeting regulatory requirements, or much more. Ignite allows them to create a common in-memory system of record that supports both transactions and real-time analytics for HTAP applications and can support Internet of Things (IoT) programs or real-time analytics across data lake and operational datasets. Ignite provides real-time performance at any scale with linear horizontal scalability whether deployed on-premises, in a public or private cloud, or on a hybrid environment. Having a common platform has helped companies develop new projects faster and at a lower cost, be more flexible to change, and be more responsive in ways that have improved their end user experiences and business outcomes.
