What Is Ignite 3?

Apache Ignite has existed for more than six years. During those years, Ignite evolved incredibly and, with thousands of deployments worldwide, became a top-5 project of the Apache Software Foundation. The SQL engine became more comprehensive, page-memory architecture and the persistence layer were introduced, and many features were added. These advancements make Ignite an extremely powerful tool that is suitable for a wide variety of use cases, from basic caching to complicated, multi-component data integration hubs that power services and applications that are used by millions of people every second of every day—and where a minute-long outage can cost millions of dollars.

With Ignite 3, we leap forward with a revamped codebase that supports a modern, modular architecture. The intuitive configurations, APIs, and Ignite behaviors provide a speedy, flexible developer experience so that even developers new to Ignite can quickly take advantage of the power of the distributed database.
