Apache Apex and Apache Geode are two of the most promising incubating open source projects. Combined, they promise to fill gaps of existing big data analytics platforms. Apache Apex is an enterprise grade native YARN big data-in-motion platform that unifies stream and batch processing. Apex is highly scalable, performant, fault tolerant, and strong in operability. Apache Geode provides a database-like consistency model, reliable transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain very low latency performance with high concurrency processing. We will also look at some use cases where how these two projects can be used together to form distributed, fault tolerant, reliable in memory data processing layer.
