Three useful Apache Ignite webinars in your quarantine program

At least until the end of April, we are unlikely to see each other offline: conferences and other events have been canceled or went online. It's time to watch the useful videos that you put off for later (check out what's new on the Apache Ignite community channel ). If you want more interactivity, join webinars about distributed computing, Ignite SQL and security settings.

March 18 - How to understand what Ignite SQL is right for you and start using it


If you are faced with restrictions on the size, scalability, or performance of your relational database, it may be time to upgrade to a distributed system. Apache Ignite is a distributed platform that can function as a database, providing SQL and JCache APIs for working with data. At this webinar we will look at real-life examples and discuss the pros and cons of each approach:

  • SQL Features in Ignite
  • How SQL interacts with the Java API (loading via the JCache API via SQL and vice versa)
  • Consistency guarantees (Ignite SQL and JCache API)
  • The complexities of distributed SQL and how data colocation can minimize it.

March 25th - Distributed Computing with Apache Ignite


To take advantage of the full potential of the In-Memory platform, it is often not enough to load data into the cluster and start working with them using key-value or SQL API. You must also efficiently place data in a cluster and use distributed computing that minimizes data movement across the network. At this webinar, you will learn how to design and perform calculations taking into account all the pros and cons of distributed systems.

We'll consider:

  • How to efficiently distribute information in a cluster using proper data modeling and collocation;
  • How MapReduce API is implemented and works in Apache Ignite;
  • How to minimize operation delays using data colocation with calculations;
  • How SQL queries can be efficiently executed in a distributed environment.

The webinar will be useful to those who begin to get acquainted with Apache Ignite and want to learn how to optimally design and use the distributed computing capabilities of this platform.

April 14 - Security Settings Guide for Apache Ignite and GridGain with Examples


Apache Ignite and GridGain enable fast computing and highly efficient distributed data queries. Both Ignite and GridGain provide a flexible configuration that will help make cluster operations more secure. In this webinar, we will cover the following security topics:

  • Secure connection between nodes (SSL / TLS);
  • User Authentication
  • User authorization.

Using examples, we will consider configurations for:

  • SSL / TLS to create a secure connection between all nodes, thin clients and connections using REST;
  • Authentication through Apache Ignite Advanced Security;
  • GridGain Security Plugin.

The webinar will help developers and devops specialists understand the basics of security for Apache Ignite and GridGain, give configuration examples for the most common cases.

Join the webinars, offer your own topics (it’s not necessary to work in GridGain to share experience with the community) and take care.
