The early days at Sun Cambridge were special, I absorbed a lot about networking and the technical side of the role from my fellow systems engineer Martin Baines, and we were driving all over the region in cool company cars (I had a Citroen BX 16V) selling a really hot product. Rich Pettit is one of the best programmers I ever met.

The motivation is not that inference will perform better inside the database, but that the database is the best place to take advantage of enterprise features (transactions, security, auditing, HA, and so on).

In databases you probably know it as stored procedures. If you want a lightweight, fast-starting, easy to program for, embeddable application runtime that also offers isolation, then a natural choice is V8 isolates. In from of them is a networking layer, and the in-memory storage layer holds the actual data. High performance.

Application developers often deploy IMDGs as a distributed cache that sits between an application and its database; the IMDG offloads ephemeral data from the database. Offloading the database boosts performance, reduces bottlenecks, and lowers costs. This can quickly saturate the network (and bog down the client).
