New to Apache Ignite? This first of three 90 minute hands-on training webinars is the fastest way for Java developers to get started with Ignite 2 or GridGain 8 (which shares the same codebase). In this session, you’ll learn how to spin up an Ignite/GridGain cluster, connect a Java application, and work with distributed data using Ignite’s Java and SQL APIs.

We’ll cover the core building blocks of Ignite/GridGain – tables, schemas, partitioning, and replication – and show how they translate into Java code. By the end of the session, you’ll understand how Ignite/GridGain works, why it delivers high performance at scale, and how to start building your own Ignite-powered applications with confidence.

What You’ll Learn:

• • How Apache Ignite 2/GridGain 8 is structured and where it fits in modern Java architectures

• • How to start and initialize an Ignite cluster

• • How to connect to Ignite/GridGain using the Java client

• • How to create tables, insert data, and run queries using SQL and the Java API

• • How Ignite/GridGain distributes data (partitioning, replication, colocation) and why it matters

Target Audience:

Java developers, architects, and engineers evaluating Apache Ignite (or GridGain) or getting started with Ignite 2/GridGain 8 for distributed data and high-performance applications.
