Get Started

These guides demonstrate the operational flexibility and speed of the Hazelcast In-Memory Computing Platform. Set-up in seconds, data in microseconds. Operations and developer friendly.

Hazelcast IMDG

Find out for yourself how to get a Hazelcast IMDG cluster up and running. In this Getting Started guide you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a Cluster of 3 Members.
  • Start the Hazelcast Management Center.
  • Add data to the cluster using a sample client in the language of your choice.
  • Add and remove some cluster members to demonstrate the automatic rebalancing of data and back-ups.

Hazelcast Jet

Learn how to run a distributed data stream processing pipeline in Java. In this Getting Started guide you’ll learn how to:

  • Start a Hazelcast Jet cluster in your JVM.
  • Build the Word Count application.
  • Execute the application wit Jet.
  • Push testing data to the cluster and explore results

As a next step, you will be able explore the code samples and extend your setup more features and connectors.

Hazelcast IMDG .NET Client

Elastically scale .NET caching for your real-world requirements. Hazelcast IMDG is an excellent solution when scaling and speed is of importance.

  • Use the Hazelcast Near Cache feature to store frequently read data in your .NET process. This provides faster read speeds than traditional caches such as Redis or Memcached. Eventual Consistency is also supported.
  • Access all of the Hazelcast data structures plus distributed queues, topics, and more with the Hazelcast IMDG .NET Client.
  • Provides SSL support and Mutual Authentication for your enterprise-level security needs.
  • Support JSON or serialized objects.

Roadmap

Roadmap

.NET Client 4.0 (Late July 2020)

  • Hazelcast IMDG 4.0 Changes: Client protocol enhancements, architectural improvements, Serialization improvements.
  • Idiomatic API: Redesign of the API in a way that C# developers used to.
  • CP Subsystem Support: New Concurrency APIs including FencedLock, AtomicLong, Semaphore, CountDownLatch, and AtomicReference.
  • Backup Acknowledgment: Significantly improved client performance by eliminating the sync backup wait from the client and send the backup ACK to the client.
  • Ownerless Client: Simpler design to track member leaves and joins to the cluster.
  • Upgrade .NET Target Framework: The supported .NET Framework version will be v4.5.
  • Auto pass-on NTLM Security Credentials: Allow easy security integration with Windows operating systems.

.NET Client Backlog

  • ASP.NET Sessions: An implementation of SessionStateProvider so that ASP.Net Sessions can be restored in Hazelcast.
  • Entity Framework Integration: Second Level Caching and Query capabilities via lambda queries and LINQ.
  • IDistributedCache Implementation: Convenience for .NET developers who uses IDistributedCache, a .NET standard for distributed in-memory caching.
  • Pipelining API: Adding pipeline to any asynchronous call so that the performance improves.
  • Configurable Backoff Strategy for Client Reconnections: A highly configurable exponential backoff mechanism for the client with which you can set the duration for waiting after connection failures, an upper limit for the wait, etc.
