Data Grid Workshop: From Zero to Hero

What is Red Hat Data Grid?

Red Hat® Data Grid 8.0 provides a distributed in-memory, NoSQL datastore solution. Your applications can access, process, and analyze data at in-memory speed to deliver a superior user experience.

Whether you are using legacy applications or a new breed of microservices and functions, Red Hat Data Grid 8.0 will enable your applications to perform better with its in-memory solution.

About/Overview

Creating a distributed application means one has to take special care of latency, performance, and most importantly, the responsiveness to the end-users.

This lab offers attendees an intro-level, hands-on session with Red Hat Data Grid. From the first line of code to building & consuming services and finally to assembling everything and deploying it on Openshift®. It illustrates what a Cache is, how to build applications with a distributed cache, as well as best practices on designing applications with caching in mind.

Computer requirements/What to bring

This is a BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) session. You will be provided with a CodeReady Workspace, an Openshift environment all pre-provisioned. If you prefer to run locally on your laptop, you can do development on your laptop. You will need to use the provided OpenShift environment as Operators installed for you are already set up there. So bring your Windows, OSX, or Linux laptop. If you decide to run locally on your laptop you need JDK 8+ and Apache Maven (3.5+).
