Enterprise Architecture (EA) has been around for about 25 years, and has been the subject of criticism amidst the IT Community ever since. Into some extent I can relate with some concerns, however the line of argumentation is flawed and exemplified with wrong implementations of EA practice.
After watching a near-by project fail, related to in-memory data grid and complex event processing, I set myself to find a different approach from the major SW vendors, that I could use on one of my projects. That’s when I found Hazelcast (http://hazelcast.com), a an in-memory open source software data grid based on Java.
For a Java programmer it has an easy step-by-step learning curve, from a simple distributed key-value store to an in memory Map-Reduce enabled application. Mainly because HZ builds on top of the existent Java Collection objects, distributing them seamlessly. So I started with a simple String/JSON key-value store. |
