How to Maintain Your Cache/Database Consistency with XA Transactions

In this webinar

If you have a cache and a database, then failures may cause inconsistencies between the database and the cache. XA Transaction technology provides a hard line on consistency of your cache by ensuring that cache updates are rolled back along with the database transaction. The cache effectively becomes like a replicated database – albeit in-memory.

While some applications may not care too much about such consistency (and favor availability first), there is a certain niche of applications that do care about seeing consistent cache data. In our experience, these applications are mostly in the financial services and/or insurance industries.

We’ll cover these topics

• An overview of XA transactions and consistency
• The benefits of using Hazelcast® with XA
• Avoiding common pitfalls when configuring Hazelcast with XA
• Live Q&A
