Hi Kubernauts, our next meetup is coming and this time we will have a bit of a different set up. The guys from Gridgain are going to do to talk, followed by a workshop on in-memory computing. A great chance to learn something new or refresh some old skills. The workshop will be based on Java. So, if you want to take part you should know the basics and just remember to bring your laptop. the location will be announced shortly.

18:30 - Doors Open
19:00 - Talk + workshop
21:00 - Pizza + Drinks

********************************************************************
Abstract: Attendees will be introduced to the fundamental capabilities of in-memory computing platforms that boost highly-loaded applications, research projects, risk analysis and fraud detection tasks by storing and processing massive amounts of data in memory and on disk across a cluster of machines.

These capabilities and benefits will be demonstrated with the usage of Apache Ignite which is the in-memory computing platform that is durable, strongly consistent, and highly available with powerful SQL, key-value and processing APIs.

By the end of the workshop the attendees will learn how to:

Deploy a distributed Apache Ignite cluster.
Preload data into the cluster deciding how much RAM is to be available for storage needs.
Create custom calculations and algorithms and utilize cluster’s resources for their execution.
Solve optimizations problems by simulating the process of biological evolution.
Apply machine learning algorithms supported by Apache Ignite.

• Important to know
Know Java basics and if you want to take part in workshop bring laptop
