Leveraging the Terracotta Toolkit for Scale
October 26, 2010; Topics: Enterprise Ehcache, BigMemory, Quartz Scheduler, Web Sessions, Terracotta Enterprise Suite
Scheduling, caching, ORM, and web sessions are the most common obstacles to scaling Java applications today. Terracotta
makes scaling as easy as a few lines of config, a jar, and the Terracotta server by integrating into the Quartz scheduler,
Ehcache caching system, Hibernate cache provider, and app server sessions.
While developing these easy to use, highly available, scaled out frameworks, we discovered a core set of pieces
and parts that were broadly applicable. We've now packaged these up as the toolkit for developers to solve other
scale problems not addressed by an existing Terracotta integration. You can leverage the Terracotta Toolkit to
build your own customized scalable Java application.
The following core APIs will be demoed and discussed: Cluster Aware API, Clustered Collections, Clustered
Locking, and Clustered Utilities.
