Roadmap
Why the Wave Matters
Streaming data is becoming a priority for enterprises with real-time aspirations and the goal to use it as a competitive advantage. It’s not only a snapshot of what is happening across the business, streaming data opens new possibilities for real-time applications tha
Many businesses are already taking advantage of real-time data. But the challenge today is that they are predominantly focusing on faster access to stored data, and thus not on taking faster action when data is created, and when opportunities arise. Many “streaming” technologies today must first store data and then rely on humans to gain insights via manual analysis and then respond in human time. A complementary approach that leverages stream processing engines will address business problems that need immediate, automated responses.
This paper covers:
Leveraging stream processing technologies to respond in real-time for use cases like “right offer at the right time” (i.e., real-time offers) and transaction fraud detection.
Using real-time data to drive better business outcomes via recommendations or reduced loss from fraud.
How to better identify the real-time use cases that you can deploy to gain competitive advantage.

Instead of a feature-by-feature comparison between these two popular technologies, there is a more meaningful way to determine which is right for you. After all, comparing Hazelcast to Redis is almost like comparing a sports utility vehicle (SUV) to a pickup truck. Picking one of these vehicles over the other depends on how you plan on using them. It’s the same with Hazelcast versus Redis.
The main difference between Hazelcast and Redis is that as a unified real-time data platform, Hazelcast provides stream processing capabilities that you don’t get in Redis. So if you are looking to take instant action on real-time data, in which your applications help you respond to changes in data when it matters most, Hazelcast is your technology.
Read this paper to learn how Hazelcast covers all your bases for your stream processing needs, and hopefully, you won’t need to spend so much time figuring out how to differentiate Hazelcast from Redis or any other storage-only data platforms.
