What we currently say right now needs a total rewrite: http://geode.incubator.apache.org/about/ Proposed new About text (150 words or less for the body. I'm 10 over at 160): Processing low latency queries, transactions, and event messaging at high concurrency Apache Geode (incubating) was first developed to solve performance issues at scale for commodities traders after the crash of Enron in 2002. It was released to the market as the commercial product GemFire, a product of Gemstone Systems. In April 2015, The code was granted to The ASF as Apache Geode (incubating). Apache Geode is a distributed in-memory database and integrated event message queue built with three design principles: 1. Elastic performance: Maintain low latency response through a self-balancing cluster architecture while keeping all data in-memory 2. Distributed consistency: Guarantee consistency of data across distributed nodes of a cluster to support ACID transactions 3. Resilient availability: Without sacrificing consistency, ensure data remains available in a cluster through automated, redundancy, rebalancing, and self healing of the cluster Geode nodes have an integrated message queue for delivering administrative and cache events. Events can match queries, be synchronous or asynchronous, are ordered, persistent, and highly available. This implements powerful capabilities such as guaranteed write-behind to RDBMS.
