Distributed Cache

You can configure the distributed cache for failover by replicating cached objects. This is only mandatory for a small number of objects, which are not persisted to database. However, other objects stored in the Distributed cache can also be replicated so that loss of a cache node does not require data reload.

Other cache usages include:

  • Distributed lock to synchronize data across multiple instances
  • Remote invocation of object methods
  • Temporary store for ephemeral objects, that is, an intermediate workflow state and work files
