Apache Geode

Apache Geode is an in-memory data management platform that provides real-time, consistent access to data-intensive applications throughout widely distributed cloud architectures. It pools memory, CPU, network resources, and local disk storage across multiple processes, offering a REST API for data access, OQL queries, function execution, and cluster management.

Apache Geode publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Administration API, Functions API, Queries API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Apache, Caching, Data Grid, Distributed Systems, and In-Memory.

The Apache Geode catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Apache Geode’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 7 more developer resources.
