Terracotta version 1.5 released this week
What a busy few weeks this has been. We launched the new website. We had a Flash demo created so all of you can get a feel for what Terracotta is capable of in less than 5 minutes. We were at Web Services on Wall Street (a really good conference--this year at least). And we held a private seminar for folks interested in more technical detail on Terracotta.
And, most importantly, we launched version 1.5 of our software. 1.5 is pretty helpful:
1. Configuration of DSO roots, JDBC query caching, and server configs is much simpler
2. DSO has performance improvements that makes it faster than alternative clustering solutions for most use cases
3. DSO now supports JRE 1.5.
3. and JDBC now has row-level invalidation. Row-level is essentially the ability to cache result sets inside the JDBC driver, but when Oracle tells you "row XYZ changed in the database" to be able to compute which resultsets had that row as part of their contents. We are there for SQL on the wire. Row-level with stored procedure support is next.
All in all, I am very happy with the progress our team has made, both in process as well as quality. We now drop in most places we go in a couple of hours...I don't think we have taken more than 24 hours of calendar time for any use case folks have brought us.
I can't wait for 2.0!
