What is Hazelcast? | Getting Started with Hazelcast

Chapter 1. What is Hazelcast?

Most, if not all, applications need to store some data, some applications far more than others. By holding this book in your eager hands and starting to flip through its pages, it might be safe to assume you have previously worked to architect, develop, or support applications more towards the latter end of that scale. We could imagine that you are all too painfully familiar with the common pitfalls and issues that tend to crop up around scaling or distributing your data layer. But to make sure we are all up to speed, in this chapter, we shall examine:

Traditional approaches to data persistence
How caches have helped improve performance, but bring about their own problems
Hazelcast's fresh approach to the problem
A brief overview its generic capabilities
Summary of what type of problems we might solve using it
