Oracle Coherence is our enterprise solution for elastic caching and is used across the organization. Our team was previously using IBM Websphere Extreme Scale appliances, but the deployment of those devices was cumbersome because we had to deploy physical devices. Our team decided to migrate over to Oracle Coherence, which we had initially looked at when the product was Tangosol before Oracle Coherence purchased them. We use Oracle Coherence to cache data close to the application server to avoid the round trip latency and lookup times at the data tier.
- scale out
- caching
- Better documentation on setting up various use cases.
Not yet, but I'm interested in Oracle user groups

We are exploring the use of Oracle Coherence on Microsoft Azure. There are several possible use patterns:
- Straight up deployment on VMs for existing customer lift and shift workloads on Azure IaaS.
- For use in connection with Oracle WebLogic Server on Azure IaaS.
- For use via the Coherence Kubernetes Operator on Azure Kubernetes service.
- Performance. Superfast resolution of complex data grid queries.
- Reliability. Availability domain support for disaster recovery.
- Programming model. Frictionless API for use with Java 8.
- Integration with Prometheus and other cloud native technologies
- Persistence. Ease of migration from one persistent store to another.
- Compatibility with latest Java Versions. Support for 13 would be nice.
Yes - I am a member of the Orlando Java User Group. This gives me access to the local JUG as well as international JUGs when I travel.

It is used organization-wide and we also have separate Oracle Coherence expertise department to help users of Coherence. The Oracle in-memory cache solution allows to make more reliable and robust applications and services for our business. In my particular project, the Coherence cache provides the performance we look for while calculations are being made. Without Coherence we would not be able to meet timings in both end of day (EOD) and intraday calculations.
- Fast in-memory cache.
- Load balancing in clustered configuration.
- Flexibly configurable.
- Easily interacts with database.
- Configuration difficulties (because of flexibility I suppose).
- Weak logging (hard to trace and resolve problems).
Our user interface uses Oracle Coherence cache in the middle office space in an investment bank. Our UI serves to display as well as operate on data. All data is stored in Oracle DB, but obviously, we need caches to boost performance. Hitting a DB every time new information is necessary is just too much.
- I think it is pretty robust. Doesn't break.
- A very sophisticated failover logic. Data rarely gets lost.
- Highly configurable depending on how frequently and quickly data needs to be retrieved.
- I can't really come up with too many flaws, but possibly a bit expensive considering there are good open source caches like Ehcache.

Oracle Coherence is used to store/sync real time trade data from a source front desk application. It is used by our LOB to calculate the risk parameters (greeks) on those trades. As Oracle Coherence is in memory, clustered, stable, distributed, scalable, failure resistance; it has provided great support and technology to timely calculation of risk parameters.
- Distributed in memory data managment. Your data is near your data manipulator or calculator engine.
- Write behind, read through, write through concept.
- Fault tolerance and scalable.
- Continueous query, live events, map reduced aggregiation, extend client are few of the very good features I have used.
- Real time monitoring - Java console using JMX manageable node is not quite friendly.
- Security is not by default, we need to implement it.
- Real time troubleshoot needs to improve.
