Spark DC Interactive Meetup: HTAP with Spark and In-Memory Data Grids

GigaSpaces’ Vice President of Product and Strategy, Ali Hodroj, spoke at last Thursday’s Washington DC Area Apache Spark Interactive about Hybrid Transactional/Analy­tical Processing with Spark & In-Memory Data Grid architecture.

Let’s talk HTAP 

Increasingly, businesses are trying to achieve better insights out of large amounts of streamed data by bringing it closer to real time processing power and querying from a live data mart. At the moment we are witnessing a convergence of workflows and technology platforms for real-time, analytics, cloud, and in-memory processing. This allows us to effectively address time-sensitive business decisions that involve the volumes of big data while benefiting from the velocities of real-time processing. This involves real-time analytics capabilities for price optimizations, fraud detection, risk calculations, and operational business intelligence. In this session, we present a fast data pipeline solution architecture combining in-memory computing and a high-performance Spark distribution. We will examine a large-scale transportation use case who implemented this solution for IoT real-time operational intelligence against billions of edge/sensor data points.
