Your high-velocity application began with smart architectural choices: PostgreSQL for reliable transactions, Redis for fast cache access, and custom processing for domain-specific logic. These decisions powered early success and growth.

You can scale out your database, add more nodes, and tune every index, but if your data isn’t in the right place, performance still hits a wall. Every distributed system eventually runs into this: joins that cross the network, caches that can’t keep up, and queries that feel slower the larger your cluster gets.

Apache Ignite 3 is a memory-first distributed SQL database platform that consolidates transactions, analytics, and compute workloads previously requiring separate systems. Built from the ground up over four years of development, it represents a complete departure from traditional caching solutions toward a unified distributed computing platform with microsecond latencies and collocated processing capabilities.

Apache Ignite 3.1 improves the three areas that matter most when running distributed systems: performance at scale, language flexibility, and operational visibility. The release also fixes hundreds of bugs related to data corruption, race conditions, and edge cases discovered since 3.0.
