SnappyData
A real-time operational analytics platform.
Overview
SnappyData is a high-performance, in-memory data platform that unifies streaming, transactions, and interactive analytics in a single cluster. It is built on Apache Spark and Apache Geode, providing a powerful combination of Spark's analytical capabilities with a distributed in-memory data store. This allows for HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) workloads, where applications can perform transactions and run complex analytics on the same data in real-time.
✨ Key Features
- Unified platform for HTAP (streaming, transactions, analytics)
- Based on Apache Spark and Apache Geode
- High-speed data ingestion and stream processing
- Interactive SQL queries on large datasets
- In-memory columnar and row-oriented storage
- Spark API compatibility
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deep integration with and optimization of the Apache Spark ecosystem
- Unified platform that avoids the complexity of stitching together separate streaming, transactional, and analytical systems
- Based on mature open-source projects (Spark, Geode)
Unique Value: Simplifies and accelerates real-time data applications by providing a single, Spark-compatible platform for streaming, transactions, and interactive analytics.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Analyzing live sensor data from IoT devices
- Real-time monitoring of financial transactions
💡 Check With Vendor
