5. Using Spring Data and JPA (Hibernate OGM) with Apache Ignite for developing high-performance web applications.
6. Ignite query (SQL, API, Text and Scan queries) capabilities in depth.
7. Using Spark RDD and Data frames for improving performance on processing fast data.
8. Developing and executing distributed computations in a parallel fashion to gain high performance, low latency, and linear scalability. 
9. Developing distributed Microservices in fault-tolerant fashion.

The book covers Ignite version 2.6.0 and above. For every topic, a complete application is delivered, which helps the audience to a quick start with the topic. Each chapter focuses on the complete implementation of a real-world scenario, the commonly occurring challenges in each scenario have also discussed, along with tips and tricks and best practices on how to overcome them.

Readership:

The target audience of this book will be IT architect, team leaders or programmer with minimum programming knowledge. No excessive knowledge is required, though it would be good to be familiar with Java, Spring framework and tools like Maven. The book is also useful for any reader, who already familiar with Oracle Coherence, Hazelcast, Infinispan or Memcached.

If you are not sure if this book is for you, I suggest you read the sample chapter of the book. The sample chapter is available in different formats including HTML. Anyway, I encourage you to try it out, and if you don't like the book, you can always ask a 100% refund within 45 days.
