Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Neil Stevenson. In a previous blog post, Designing an Evergreen Cache with Change Data Capture, Nicolas describes “one-way” change data capture (CDC). It is a one-way process. In Nicolas’ post, the database copy can change and CDC pushes the change to Hazelcast to align the two copies of the data. Let’s take this a stage further, with “two-way” CDC. Now data in Hazelcast can change as well, and we need to push those changes back to the database. In terms of coding, this seems really easy, but it actually brings a lot of significant problems. Let’s ... Read More

Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Ihsan Demir. We have just released our newest version of Hazelcast C++ Client API. It has a lot of improvements and features compared to older releases and I would like to provide some insights into the thread structure of our client, including how it interacts with the user threads. IO Thread IO thread is one of the most important threads. It writes and reads client messages to and from the server. This thread is the busiest and on the critical path and should process IO bytes very fast. Therefore, on the reader side, it only ... Read More

Feed: Blog – ArangoDB. Author: Manuel Pöter. Over the past years, we have seen a shift in processors from the previously dominant x86 architecture to the more energy-efficient (and often cheaper) ARM architecture. This trend is true for both consumer hardware, e.g., Apple’s M1 SoC and also server hardware, e.g. AWS’s Gravitron processor. Given that the ARM architecture has a more relaxed memory model, this might have some subtle impact on C++ programs… With the introduction of multi-threaded execution in C++11, the standard also introduced a memory model. For many developers, this memory model is one of the least well-understood ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Steve Naventi. A survey conducted by IDC suggests the rise of microservices is driving a significant expansion in the number of databases that IT teams will need to manage in the cloud-native era. The survey, conducted on behalf of Redis Labs, polled 300 enterprise IT organizations with revenues of more than $100 million.

The research also notes about a quarter of microservices-based applications (24%) are considered business critical, with 42% of those applications resulting ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Chris Cheung. We were using AWS ElastiCache for caching use cases. But when it came to database persistence, we were torn between self-hosting and choosing a managed service. We went with Redis Enterprise Cloud as the clear choice because of its ability to act as a Swiss Army knife for all of our data layer needs. — Swapnil Talekar, Engineering Manager, HackerRank Company HackerRank Industry Technical Assessment The Customer: HackerRank is the industry leader in pre-screening, technical assessments, and remote interview solutions for hiring developers.
