Hello everyone,
I’m happy to announce the next meeting of the Boston Scalability User Group will take place on Wednesday May 28 at 6 p.m. We will meet at the IBM Innovation Center in Waltham, MA.
Orion Letizi from Terracotta will conduct an interactive session exploring the open-source Terracotta project. Terracotta is useful in many different cases including use as Network Attached Memory for working with large datasets, clustering HTTP sessions, reducing database load, acting as a second-level cache for Hibernate objects and more. You can find out more about some of these use cases by visiting the Start Learning Terracotta page.
Orion’s talk starts off with an overview of Terracotta and using cluster visualization tools to diagnose performance problems with an application. After that the presentation becomes a discussion about Terracotta with the audience. No questions are off-limits so you can ask about how it works, how to contribute, find out if it is appropriate for your use-case and more. This is a fun and interesting way to run the meeting because it allows us to ask questions about the project that are important to us. So read up on Terracotta, use it and come to the meeting prepared to ask questions and learn!
Please register for this meeting if you plan to attend. There will be pizza so make sure you register so we know how much to order.
IBM is located at 404 Wyman St. Waltham, MA 02451
