Distributed caching has reduced latency and now supports real-time stream processing
I think there are areas where Hazelcast Platform can improve, such as simplifying the cluster topology and sizing rules because they are still somewhat complex for someone new to Hazelcast. Understanding how the cluster topology forms and sizing rules work, such as partition balancing and traffic routing, should be much simpler. If one node has less RAM or a slightly slower CPU, it creates a cluster-wide performance bottleneck, which is critical, especially with transactional systems. Even though Hazelcast Platform has proven to be better, there can still be bottlenecks if the cluster topology and data partitioning are not easily understood. I also think that object handling and streamlined serialization should be prioritized; using standard Java serialization can be extremely slow. Providing native ultra-fast binary serialization out of the box, without requiring developers to write custom adapters, would be a significant improvement. It would be great if there were ready-to-use adapters for streamlined serialization and object handling.
