As a developer, you must have struggled to accelerate the communication between the client and server at some point. Network overheads, delays and latency have always been of major concerns and it all comes down to one single question – How can we speed up the requests? Tons of solutions are found over the time…
Caching frequently used data of your application is an extremely competent move. But making sure that the cached data stays synchronized with your Oracle database is the dilemma. The trick to overcoming this is to use data expirations where you guess the TTL (Time To Live) of the item and then cache it. No matter…
One common nightmare among developers and software architects is your sole web-server/data source crashing while thousands of your connected clients, applications, and your precious data are lost. Introducing a distributed, load-balanced caching layer such as NCache can make your application tier very scalable and highly available since you can add more servers as your transaction…
Distributed caches, generally, are key-value stores that allow basic get, put and delete operations to store, retrieve, and update cached data. These key-based operations aka CRUD (Create, Remove, Update, Delete) or Basic Operations are what make your cache easy to use, extremely fast, and scalable. Let’s say that I have an e-commerce application that requires…
Securing cached data in a multi-data center environment is paramount. There’s no denying that. But is securing data enough to ensure you have secured your cache environment? I’d beg to differ; it’s not nearly enough. Along with data security, you need to make sure your cache and server nodes are safe from unauthorized access as well.…

Red Hat OpenShift is a container platform by Red Hat that provides an auto-scaling cloud application platform. It is built around application containers that are powered by…
Distributed caching is becoming popular with every passing day as it improves application performance and provides scalability. And with the need for a fast and scalable method, people are caching more and more data into the cache. The greater the application’s performance, the greater the number of client applications is going to be. This all…
