Episode 131: in-Memory Computing Meets Cloud Native Computing

Episode Summary

For this week’s episode, we spoke with Mike Yawn, a senior solution architect at Hazelcast, about the potential of in-memory computing to supercharge microservices and cloud native workloads. Yawn recently contributed a post to TNS explaining how an in-memory technologies could make microservices run more smoothly. Hazelcast offers an in-memory data grid, Hazelcast IMDG, along with stream processing software Hazelcast Jet. We wanted to know more about how in-memory could be used with microservices. While in-memory offers caching just like key-value database such as Redis, it also offers additional computing capacity, which can help process that data on the fly, Yawn explained.
