In Detail
Infinispan is an extremely scalable, highly available key/ value data store and data grid platform. In-memory data grids (IMDG) have recently been gaining a lot of attention, and the market for this technology is steadily increasing.
This book is a practical guide that covers all Infinispan features in a progressive manner with the help of real-world and ready-to-use examples. You will learn how to install Infinispan and create a perfect development environment. Next, you will learn how to persist data to a permanent store and integrate Infinispan with technologies such as Hibernate OGM, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and CDI. Finally, we will present a sample application that you can download from the JBoss Developer Framework. By the end of this book, you will be able to build extremely scalable applications, providing a highly available key/value data store.
