title: Hazelcast vs. Ignite benchmark
body: <p>I am using data grids as my primary "database". I noticed a drastic difference between Hazelcast and Ignite query performance. I optimized my data grid usage by the proper custom serialization and indexes, but the difference is still noticeable IMO. </p>
  
  <p>Since no one asked it here, I am going to answer my own question for all future references. This is not an abstract (learning) exercise, but a real-world benchmark, that models my data grid usage in large SaaS systems - primarily to display sorted and filtered paginated lists. I primarily wanted to know how much overhead my universal JDBC-ish data grid access layer adds compared to raw no-frameworks Hazelcast and Ignite usage. But since I am comparing apples to apples, here comes the benchmark.</p>
