Terracotta Project Ideas
This is a list of ideas for Terracotta-related projects. Please feel free to add to or edit this page. If you want to work on a particular idea, send mail to tc-dev@lists.terracotta.org
.
If you want to start experimenting with some of this stuff, feel free to use the Terracotta Forge Labs infrastructure. This is a good way to get started on the path to being a Terracotta contributor.

Database
Cluster-aware JDBC Pool
This is from a suggestion by Fernando Padilla. While Terracotta wouldn't be useful to cluster the actual database resources, it would be very easy to keep track of cluster-wide info about the cross-cluster usage of database resources. As Fernando suggests, Terracotta would be very useful for handling "the management of connection pools, load-balancing the size of each pool per server", etc. This is a pattern of use where Terracotta can easily keep track of metadata about the resources used across an entire cluster.
