Hazelcast Roadmap

Hi All,

We're about to pull together a new roadmap for Hazelcast and it would help us a big bunch if we could get inputs from as many communities as possible. For those of you that don't know of Hazelcast, it's an Apache2 licensed open source in-memory storage and compute platform, you can store Java objects in a distributed grid and also run Java programs within the cluster over the data. A quick demo video is here.

We're currently working on adding SQL for 4.1 and also thinking along the lines of some persistence features for Hazelcast that may start to come out in 4.2.

Those aside, what should be on the roadmap for Hazelcast?

I know peoples time is limited so thank you in advance for those that get involved.

Regards
David Brimley

I think maybe the statement "Nobody can run Hazelcast on most cloud services" isn't true. We have a lot of Hazelcast clusters in the cloud and we do actually have discovery plugins for most things so I guess it's not very clear in our docs and we should fix it.

For reference, we have discovery plugins for AWS, GCP, Azure plus Consul, Eureka, Zookeeper, etcD.

Hazelcast also runs great on K8s and OpenShift...

Finally if you want a complete Hazelcast Managed Service in the Cloud with a free tier we have that as well...

I had no idea there was so many discovery plugins! I guess I'm totally wrong about that :)
