What is Apache Ignite?
Apache Ignite is a memory-first distributed SQL database built for high-velocity data workloads where milliseconds matter.
- Memory-first storage with optional persistence
- Schema-driven data placement for local query execution
- ACID transactions across partitions using Raft consensus
- Non-blocking reads through MVCC snapshot isolation
- Full SQL support via Apache Calcite
Scale Without Penalties
Schema-driven colocation keeps related data together, eliminating cross-node join penalties.
Consistency Without Tradeoffs
ACID transactions across partitions with Raft consensus. No eventual consistency compromises.
