Episode 2 : In-memory data grids!

In this episode, we will discuss CAP Theorem, distributed caching and more. In-memory data grids are on the menu!

Just like last time, we will be guided by two experts:

David Follen is Developer and Chapter Lead at ING Belgium, and has several years experience building applications using data grids.
Nicolas Fränkel is Developer Advocate for Hazelcast, one of the leading in-memory data grids on the market.

During this hour, we'll be covering all the basics of in-memory data grids. What are they and what can they help you achieve. What are their advantages, but also drawbacks. In what situations can they be used to their maximum potential and to what extent. We'll also look into how to get started with in-memory data grids using available open-source projects. I hope you'll enjoy the ride!
