Has anyone used Oracle Coherence? It looks very promising at the roadshows.
My concern is whether it's a stable and robust enough to implement mission-critical financial solutions.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on its performance, robustness and ease of maintenance.
As with any technology, Coherence has the capability to meet your needs for performance and robustness. If you understand the technology and implement it correctly, then yes.
I've been using it for a few months now. So far, it's doing fine in production. We haven't gotten to the maintenance part yet.
Coherence is in production at hundreds of companies. Many of the companies are large financial institutions and large consumer websites. For example, hotwire.com uses Coherence.
I've had first hand experience with Oracle Coherence at two big investment banks and can say it's definitely stable. However, as with any complex piece of software it's not without it's quirks.
EDIT: Doh, just realised the question is over a year old. Oh well...
