Description

Scalability, performance, and reliability have to be designed into an application from the very beginning, as there may be substantial cost or implementation consequences if they need to be added down the line. This indispensible book will teach you how to achieve these things using Oracle Coherence, a leading data grid product on the market.Authored by leading Oracle Coherence authorities, this essential book will teach you how to use Oracle Coherence to build high-performance applications that scale to hundreds of machines and have no single points of failure. You will learn when and how to use Coherence features such as distributed caching, parallel processing, and real-time events within your application, and understand how Coherence fits into the overall application architecture. Oracle Coherence provides a solid architectural foundation for scalable, high-performance and highly available enterprise applications, through features such as distributed caching, parallel processing, distributed queries and aggregations, real-time events, and the elimination of single points of failure.However, in order to take full advantage of these features, you need to design your application for Coherence from the beginning. Based on the authors' extensive knowledge of Oracle Coherence, and how to use it in the real world, this book will provide you with all the information you need in order to leverage various Coherence features properly. It contains a collection of best practice-based solutions and mini-frameworks that will allow you to be more productive from the very beginning.The early chapters cover basics like installation guidelines and caching topologies, before moving on to the domain model implementation guidelines, distributed queries and aggregations, parallel processing, and real-time events. Towards the end, you learn how to integrate Coherence with different persistence technologies, how to access Coherence from platforms other than Java, and how to test and debug classes and applications that depend on Coherence.

Who is this book for?

This book is written for architects and developers responsible for the design and development of Internet or Enterprise applications (web-based or otherwise) that need to scale to support a large number of simultaneous users, while at the same time providing fast response times and high availability. The book assumes a solid knowledge of Java, and a familiarity with Domain Driven Design (DDD) is helpful.

I might be a little biased, since I work on Coherence at Oracle, and I helped to proof-read the book. Nonetheless, there's no doubt that this book has been extremely helpful for new customers picking up Oracle Coherence and needing to dive into the technical details quickly. More importantly, this book isn't just about the product -- it's about how to design and build complex distributed systems. In other words, this book is a great way to learn _how_ to build the types of systems (like banking systems, exchanges, real-time risk analytics, telco infrastructure, eCommerce web sites, etc.) that use Coherence, even if you aren't currently using Coherence.Great book -- thanks Aleks!

Oracle Coherence 3.5 provides an excellent introduction to the features of Coherence, including some advanced features such as backing map listeners. More importantly, the features are always put into context. The book explains what problems the features solve and how they fit into real world use cases. The motivations for using features make it far easier to know when to apply them. Chapter 8: Implementing the Persistence Layer is especially good at explaining step by step how to use Coherence to solve particular problems.I like that the book always shows code examples. For a developer, a snippet of code is worth a thousand words of explanation. The book also provides some utility code that will be useful in many applications plus a link to more free utilities.The tone of the book is very approachable. You feel like Aleks Seovic sat down to explain Coherence to you; it's not like reading a textbook.I wouldn't even try to use Coherence for C++ without first reading "Chapter 11: Accessing Coherence from C++".My only quibbles are that some of the code formatting seems a bit odd and there are some minor wording errors.Overall, this is an excellent book that is always pragmatic. It will help developers solve real problems in the real world using Coherence.

Concepts clearly explained in this book. Authors gave an excellent explanation on the background and foundation on what problem an in-memory data grid trying to solve. The layout of the book is very well organized starting from basics and building on as one progresses through the book. I love studying it.

The internet has ushered massive data flow for businesses in any industry. A single online connection will allow any user access to millions of websites that provide information on a specific data. For businesses, maintaining this massive data is critical for their businesses. They have to handle data in a large-scale scenario or else they will never be able to provide the services expected online.This is the reason why local-server is no longer the best solution for a growing business. The "cloud" has become the byword for many businesses simply because it provides unlimited expansion to a business also experiencing the same expansion. But the challenge of an ever-expanding data is on maintaining it to be easily accessible online.This is where Oracle Coherence tries to provide an answer. In gist, it is a data management system from Oracle that eases loading of database without compromising user's experience on working with the data online. Oracle Coherence can be used with different servers located around the world so that data transmission to different users will be stable. The tool provides a fully scalable solution for businesses and industries that deals with massive data.The authors of the book are not just banking on their experience with programming languages in order to write a book. The main author, Aleksandar Seovic, is one of the leading developers of .Net for Oracle Coherence. His expertise is based not just on the IT industry but specifically in Oracle Coherence. The co-authors, Mark Falco and Patrick Peralta are also working with Oracle and have been part of Coherence for many years. Mark Falco has been with Coherence since 2005 and Patrick Peralta has vast experience in real world application of Coherence in various industries worldwide.Oracle Coherence 3.5 is a highly recommended book for those who want to start using the system from Oracle. The detailed instructions along with codes and screenshots improve understanding especially on the final chapters of the book. Because of these samples and suggested solutions, the book can also be used as a reference guide for advanced users.

This is the only book out there covering Coherence (any version) and it presents the reader with a good overview of all the features that Coherence has to offer. Some of the examples are a bit hard to follow as the code is presented over a number of pages in some cases, so you have to flick back to see what is going on, but the explanations are clear. I'm finding this book an easy and enjoyable read, which is a new experience for me for an IT book!EDIT - I also have the Kindle version of this book which is not so great, the formatting is terrible with parts missing. For example there is a chapter on configuration which is missing the elements the text refers to and the following chapter has some tips in it that have been cut off before the end.
