Ehcache is an open source, standards-based cache used in a wide array of applications to boost performance, offload the database and simplify scalability.
Ehcache is robust, proven and full-features and this has made it the most widely used Java-based cache.
Greg will walk through the Spring Pet Clinic as an application example and show us how to tune it for maximum performance, both when using Hibernate and when caching result sets directly.
He will show us benchmarking tests the comparative application performance of
Ehcache EX 1.8 versus MySQL, Memcached and a leading In-Memory Data Grid, including the impressive performance increases from the latest Terracotta 3.2 Server Array.
Finally Greg will also discuss some upcoming features in
Ehcache 2.0 such as JTA, bulk loading, the new Hibernate 3.3 provider and write-behind.
