For our September 2009 meeting, scheduled for Tuesday 29, we will explore web application scaling using Oracle Coherence, a leading in-memory data grid product. Our speaker, Aleksandar Seović, a Coherence contributor and author, will discuss the performance and scalability issues in-memory data grids are intended to solve, and how they can be solved using Coherence.

Building scalable applications that perform well and are highly available is not an easy task.
In this session we will discuss why scaling conventional web architectures is difficult, and show how in-memory data grids such as Oracle Coherence can make our jobs easier by bringing data closer to the application and allowing us to process it in parallel within the data grid.
We will cover various cache topologies Coherence offers and when each of them should be used. We will then talk about many different ways of parallel execution that Coherence enables, from distributed queries and aggregations, to entry processors and clustered Work Manager implementation.
In-memory data grids in general, and Coherence in particular, are a very exciting technology. If you are new to them, you will likely leave the meeting eager to learn more. However, even if you already have some experience with them, you will likely learn a lot during the presentation, and any Coherence-related questions you might have are more than welcome.
