GridGain Platform
Ultra-Low Latency Data Processing for Transactional and Analytical Workloads
GridGain Platform is a distributed, memory-first computing platform built on Apache Ignite, designed for transactional, streaming, and analytical workloads that require low latency and horizontal scale. It can be inserted between existing application and data layers to accelerate and scale applications without replacing existing databases or applications, and it supports both data at rest and data in motion.
The platform provides ANSI SQL and key-value APIs with ACID compliance, distributed transaction processing, advanced analytics, stream processing, and AI/ML operations including model training, deployment, and vector search. It integrates with data sources and sinks through standards-based connectors, including Kafka, Iceberg, Parquet, and CSV, and exposes APIs for Java, .NET, C++, Python, JDBC, ODBC, REST, and CLI. Deployment options include on-premises, public and private clouds, containers, managed service, and mainframe environments. GridGain Control Center provides cluster monitoring and troubleshooting, while enterprise security features include RBAC, encryption at rest, and LDAP/OpenID integration. Data Center Replication supports active-active replication and automated failover.
GridGain is part of MariaDB Enterprise Platform, with capabilities distributed across platform tiers including Apache Ignite, MariaDB Enterprise Platform, Platform Plus, and Platform Ultimate. A free trial is available, along with quick start guides and free training courses.
