2021: Availability for all GridGain and Apache Ignite users

On November 1, 2021, GridGain Systems, a provider of enterprise in-memory computing solutions based on Apache Ignite's distributed database, announced that GridGain Nebula, the company's cloud computing service with pay-as-you-go, is now available to all users of GridGain and Apache Ignite. Previously, Nebula was available only to fairly large enterprises in the world. GridGain offers a more efficient, secure, and cost-effective way to run Apache Ignite in a production environment. GridGain Nebula is a Solution SaaS that simplifies the configuration, preparation, management, optimization, and scaling of in-memory computing software. With Nebula, application developers can spend less time managing the environment and focus on building the high-performance, scalable applications their companies need for technological growth.

GridGain Nebula is the second cloud SaaS product that GridGain released in 2021. The first was GridGain Control Center, which allows administrators and DevOps engineers to optimize troubleshooting, management, and monitoring of their local or cloud Ignite deployments. Both services are available through the GridGain portal, a centralized location for all cloud GridGain products.

"As one of the creators of Apache Ignite and the person who wrote the first lines of its code, I realize how much time and effort it took to develop a more scalable and productive Ignite configuration in the cloud. GridGain Nebula was created as an answer to this challenge. This product is a key that gives engineers the ability to implement up-to-date computing technologies in memory every day, " says Nikita Ivanov, founder and technical director of GridGain.

The in-memory computing platform GridGain provides fast enough, scalable to data , and real-time access for both legacy and current applications. Software A GridGain deployed on a distributed cluster of standard databases servers can reside between application and data tiers (P, DBMS NoSQL, and) Apache Hadoop without having to copy and replace existing databases. It can also be deployed as a distributed database for high-performance computing in-memory at speed.
