What Hazelcast Platform is
Hazelcast Platform brings a distributed compute engine and fast data store together in one runtime for real-time and AI-driven applications. Its stream processing can act on data before it is stored, while the in-memory store supports fast reads and writes for interactive request-and-response applications. WAN Replication synchronizes multiple clusters and supports automatic disaster-recovery failover to a secondary cluster. Security includes JAAS role-based access controls and TLS encryption for data moving between nodes and applications. The platform runs on public and private clouds and is available through AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure marketplaces. Its Kafka Connector processes Apache Kafka topic streams and writes processed data back to Kafka. Hazelcast lists SQL and stateful processing, event-time windows, and Java and SQL support. The self-managed annual subscription includes professional support, with pricing available by request. A free plan is available, along with a free 30-day Enterprise trial that requires a requested license key. The platform is aimed at data-intensive, mission-critical AI workloads in sectors including financial services, retail, supply chain, and healthcare.
