What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Apache Ignite's standout feature lies in its In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG). This powerful capability allows you to store and process large datasets in-memory across a distributed cluster of servers. By keeping frequently accessed data in-memory, Ignite significantly boosts data access speed, leading to enhanced application performance.

In a real-life scenario, imagine a large-scale e-commerce platform experiencing high traffic during a flash sale. Apache Ignite could be employed as a distributed caching solution. Frequently accessed product data, pricing information, and user preferences are stored in-memory across a cluster of servers. This optimizes response times for product searches, reduces database load, and ensures a seamless shopping experience for users during peak demand periods. The distributed nature of Ignite helps distribute the load, preventing bottlenecks and improving overall system performance during such events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

Potential drawback of Apache Ignite is that it might not be the best fit for simple or small-scale projects. The overhead associated with setting up and managing a distributed system could outweigh the benefits in scenarios where a more straightforward caching solution or database might suffice. Careful consideration of the project's scale and requirements is essential to determine if Apache Ignite is the most suitable choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ignite solving and how is that benefiting you?

A large e-commerce platform using Apache Ignite. The system efficiently scales during peak shopping periods, thanks to Ignite's scalability. Frequently accessed product data is stored in-memory, optimizing performance. Ignite's distributed caching reduces database load, ensuring a seamless shopping experience with minimal latency, especially during flash sales or high-traffic events. This real-life application highlights Ignite's ability to enhance performance in dynamic, large-scale environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Apache Ignite along with its caching capabilities provide full support to Cassandra. Which helped our developers to write easy and distributed joins. We are still not production, so we will understand its capabilities when we go distributed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

Currently, any numeric datatype requires value as zero, forcing us to migrate all our data and then adding in the field to an existing table. Too much setup is required to run in the case of Spring Boot Applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ignite:

If you have a non-transactional DB requirement, this is the right choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ignite solving and how is that benefiting you?

As it is an in-memory data grid and database, it helps our clients to retrieve data faster. It helps our developers to use SQL functionality along with distributed joins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

Since all data in Ignite is off heap you can expect very nice GC profile if you can keep your allocation rates modest. BinaryObject API is useful since you read a field without full object deserialisation and you do not need domain classes present on servers' classpath. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

Since data is off heap, Ignite has to serialise and deserialise all the data you will be accessing from the application code. Ignite will synchronise the partitions, but the operation is expensive. If you have a solution where there is transactional replicated caches with strong read write consistency, you will pay a great cost for keeping the cluster synchronised. Ignite has to be load tested after each iteration and the design tuned a lot to keep it performant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ignite?

I love how easy to use the Apache Ignite API is, it's very intuitive and allows me to create a resilient distributed in-memory cache which is lightning fast. I really appreciate the quality of the documentation, taught me a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ignite?

When I last used it, the ignite-zookeeper library was lagging behind the official zookeeper version significantly. I see that's changed a bit now, but still lagging a little (3.4.13 vs 3.5.6). However, the curator dependency is still severely outdated (2.9.1 vs 4.2.0). I needed to shade these in order to make progress on my distributed service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ignite:

Apache Ignite is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ignite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apache Ignite solves my need for a fast distributed caching. At the time when I used it, It was easier and faster to set up than Hazlecast and supported Cassandra, which is a huge benefit. Maybe in the future I will be able to use its Spark integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
