Atlassian Crowd Clustered with Terracotta
posted by ari
Apparently, a famous technical author and editor just recently completed a clustering production use case on top of Terracotta. Use case? Crowd single sign on service from Atlassian was being held back by the user database underneath. So he put Terracotta into the mix for clustered caching across many Crowd instances. Now it scales easily and w/o a lot of investment.
To my friend, the editor, I say cheers and job well done.
To everyone else interested in this use case, I will see if I can get this contributed back as a TIM.
More importantly though, with Shibboleth and Crowd both clustered on top of Terracotta pretty much seamlessly, perhaps its time to take a look at adding single sign on to your app, and to make sure that SSO service is running with Terracotta under it; dare I call it a standard or best practice?
Cheers!
