Overview
Hazelcast Platform is a unified real-time data platform providing distributed caching, in-memory compute, and stream processing capabilities. It's designed for building low-latency, scalable applications. The platform supports data consistency with CP and AP configurations, geo/WAN replication for high availability and disaster recovery, and integrates with existing tech stacks. Core components include distributed caching for sub-millisecond data access, in-memory compute for parallel processing, and stream processing for real-time event detection. Hazelcast works well with Kubernetes, and supports polyglot data. Use cases include accelerating mobile apps, scaling cross-border payments, and handling high-volume event streams with sub-120ms latency.
