Infinispan is a distributed, in-memory database and data grid for storing, managing, and processing key/value data across scalable clusters.
It can be embedded directly in Java applications or deployed as a standalone server for remote access, making it suitable for caching, persistent storage, cloud-native services, and AI-oriented search workloads.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Run embedded in applications, as a standalone server, or inside containers using Docker, Podman, or other OCI runtimes.
- Scale elastically across clusters with automatic data rebalancing and replication across data centers.
- Provides full-text search, relational-style querying, continuous queries, and vector search for embeddings.
- Supports persistent cache stores including file, RocksDB, JDBC, and other storage backends.
- Includes administration, monitoring, security controls, distributed transactions, event listeners, and developer integrations.
