Check out Developer Tech for CEO William Bain’s latest article: “Integrating Data and Logic with Next-Generation Distributed Caching.” Bill explains how ScaleOut Active Caching™ transforms traditional distributed caching into an active, intelligent infrastructure that powers the next generation of live applications.

For more than two decades, distributed caches have helped applications scale by storing fast-changing data in memory. But as workloads grow, these systems can face performance challenges that limit their effectiveness.  Data-structure stores have helped reduce network traffic by embedding a fixed set of data structures in the cache, but they can be difficult to extend.

ScaleOut Active Caching addresses these challenges by embedding and executing application code within ScaleOut’s distributed cache, enabling developers to deploy custom data structures and logic that boost performance, enable advanced insights, and reduce network overhead. This feature set introduces API modules for building and deploying application-defined data structures and messaging modules for processing event messages from services like Kafka or AWS SQS. Together, they allow distributed caches to take on application-specific tasks and even replace serverless functions.

By uniting data and logic, ScaleOut Active Caching delivers enhanced responsiveness, scalability, and flexibility for modern applications. Read the full article at Developer Tech News.
