One of the drivers behind the popularity of NoSQL solutions is performance (especially) under heavy loads. Due to their data model, key value stores lead the pack, providing lightweight yet flexible means of working with data. In this entry, I am going to quickly showcase what it takes to work with a key value store (Redis) using Spring (Spring Redis) through one of Spring Data samples (RetwisJ) and deploy the app into the cloud (through Cloud Foundry) to share it with the world. I am going even further by using Windows, as a deployment platform for a change. RetwisJ can be seen as the Java…

One of the major features added in Spring Framework 3.1 M1 is the generic cache abstraction for transparently applying caching to Spring applications. Just like the transaction support, the caching abstraction allows consistent use of various caching solutions with minimal impact on the code. Caches are in general used to improve application performance by transparently serving frequently accessed data in a faster fashion such as serving data from local memory rather than from the network. Many of you have already used caching, whether knowingly or not: most ORM/JPA frameworks provide…
