Hazelcast for MongoDB Developers

TL;DR When I talk to the developers about Hazelcast, many of them ask how Hazelcast is different from NOSQL databases, and particularly from MongoDB. In this blog post, I will try to answer this question once and for all.

Instead of storing your data in tables and rows as you would with a relational database, in MongoDB you store JSON-like documents with a dynamic schema. In short, MongoDB is an NOSQL data store, primarily concerned with storing/persisting and retrieving schema-free data. ...

I'm speaking at JavaOne 2013

New achievement unlocked - I’m going to deliver the talk at JavaOne 2013! This year I will be talking about very demanding and interesting topic for me - about integration Java and JavaScript. Here is quick abstract of my [BOF5793] session: "" There is a perception in the Java community that JavaScript is a second-rate interpreted language whose main purpose is to make Web pages a little prettier. But JavaScript is actually a powerful, flexible, dynamically typed language. And today the language has been experiencing a revival driven by the interest in HTML5. Nashorn is a modern JavaScript engine available on the JVM, and it’s already included with JDK8 builds. This presentation is about building polyglot applications with Java and JavaScript. "" ...
