Oracle Coherence remains a solid option for low-latency, in-memory data grids. Real-world experiences surface the hard-fought lessons that documentation rarely covers.

Key Implementation Lessons

  • Design for Partition Loss: Simulate node churn and data rebalancing to validate backup counts and recovery KPIs.
  • Automate Cache Configuration: Externalise cache descriptors and use CI pipelines to enforce schema versioning.
  • Observe Cluster Health: Enable Coherence JMX reporting and integrate alerts into your observability stack.
  • Capacity Planning: Profile traffic patterns and size the JVM heap to avoid excessive garbage collection pauses.
