Beyond Caching with Hazelcast, Santander, and London Java Community

What started as a simple caching solution for a single data type has transformed into a core component of Santander’s infrastructure—supporting messaging, compute grids, and static data distribution. In this session, Humphrey Fu, Engineering Lead at Santander, takes us behind the scenes, sharing key challenges, milestones, and critical decisions involved in scaling the Hazelcast Platform within one of the world’s most complex financial environments—all from a practitioner’s perspective.

Ed Thurman, Senior Engineering Manager at Hazelcast, delivers an engaging session on handling failures at scale. Learn practical strategies for building resilient, high-performing distributed systems using Hazelcast Platform, including:

• Replication & partitioning for high availability
• Backups & anti-entropy protocols for data consistency
• Techniques for designing failure-resistant Java applications

This video is packed with actionable insights for architects, engineers, and developers looking to build robust, scalable systems.
