Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Andrey Pechkurov. As you may already know, the Hazelcast In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG) ecosystem includes a variety of clients for different languages and runtimes, which includes Node.js client library as a part of that list. High-performance and low-latency for data access have always been a key feature of IMDG, so it’s not surprising that we put a lot of time and effort into optimizing both server-side and client libraries. Our Node.js library went through numerous performance analysis and optimization runs over the course of several releases, and we think it’s worth telling you the story ... Read More

The behavior of major cloud companies, such as Amazon, has increasingly stirred up angst and fear in open source companies.  These companies provide (and support) ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. IAM roles can help you manage user and application access to your MCS resources by using temporary security credentials for authentication instead of sharing long-term credentials. For example, you can create an IAM role that grants an application read and write permissions only to specific tables in your account. IAM roles can also be used to manage access for federated identities from a centralized identity provider, such as a corporate directory.  You can use IAM roles with MCS by using an authentication plugin for the open-source DataStax Java driver. The plugin enables you to add authentication information ... Read More
