True Ignite Fundamentals Training (Java)

New to Apache Ignite? This first of three 90 minute hands-on training webinars is the fastest way for Java developers to get started with Ignite 3 or GridGain 9 (which shares the same codebase). In this session, you’ll learn how to spin up an Ignite/GridGain cluster, connect a Java application, and work with distributed data using Ignite’s Java and SQL APIs.

We’ll cover the core building blocks of Ignite/GridGain – tables, schemas, partitioning, and replication – and show how they translate into Java code. By the end of the session, you’ll understand how Ignite/GridGain works, why it delivers high performance at scale, and how to start building your own Ignite-powered applications with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Apache Ignite 3/GridGain 9 is structured and where it fits in modern Java architectures
• How to start and initialize an Ignite cluster
• How to connect to Ignite/GridGain using the Java client
• How to create tables, insert data, and run queries using SQL and the Java API
• How Ignite/GridGain distributes data (partitioning, replication, colocation) and why it matters

Agenda:

1. Introduction to Apache Ignite 3/GridGain 9: What Ignite/GridGain is and when to use it
2. Cluster Basics: Starting and initializing an Ignite cluster
3. Working with Data:
   • Tables, SQL queries, and Java table APIs
   • Common access patterns (RecordView, KeyValueView)
4. Distributed Data Fundamentals: Partitioning, replication, and performance basics
