Intro to Clustering with Terracotta

Terracotta is an open-source cluster framework. In this session, attendees will begin by learning about Terracotta architecture and setup. We'll then examine the Terracotta Toolkit in detail with live code examples. Attendees will learn about features in the Terracotta toolkit: barriers, locking, clustered collections, and more. We'll discuss the usage of these features and how to best utilize them across a cluster of JVM's / app servers. We'll also talk about how to setup for high-availability.

Topics in this session:

• Understanding clustering
• Understanding Terracotta and how it clusters
• Terracotta shared objects will be discussed briefly to set the stage for the underpinnings of the Terracotta toolkit
• Setting up Terracotta configuration
• Code demos that are available to all attendees on Github
