Dani Traphagen is a solution architect for GridGain, where she consults on high-tech caching architectures. Previously, Dani consulted at DataStax and led technical training internationally on Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise. Her passion for teaching began while working in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of California, Berkeley, where she taught scientists technical skills, helped create a data science course, and raised awareness about the growing open science community. Dani has since volunteered with and generated training content for a number of organizations, including software carpentry, women in technology, rOpenSci, and GitHub. Earlier in her career, Dani worked in cartilage tissue engineering at the University of California, San Francisco, where her interests for heavy machinery, science, and code fused. If you don’t catch Dani behind a computer, you’ll often see her in the wild, backpacking, riding her bike, or climbing things. She also makes sure to keep the coffee business afloat in her hometown of Hermosa Beach.
Memory-first architectures are paradigm shifting for database backends. They can enhance performance dramatically but also allow for horizontal scale-out on distributed relational architectures. Even more, they can be put in front of various file systems, or NoSQL databases. Apache Ignite provides a caching layer between applications and the system of record, but additionally, it provides a peer to peer architecture for transacting data, performing computations, microservices, streaming, and much more.
During this session, we will do a deep-dive into the Apache Ignite architecture and discuss how it is being deployed around the globe. You will walk away knowing why and when to use Apache Ignite in your next data intensive application!
