Oracle Coherence
In computing, Oracle Coherence (originally Tangosol Coherence) is a Java-based distributed cache and in-memory data grid, intended for systems that require high availability, high scalability and low latency, particularly in cases that traditional relational database management systems provide insufficient throughput, or insufficient performance.
Tangosol Coherence was created by Cameron Purdy and Gene Gleyzer, and initially released in December, 2001.[1]
Oracle Corporation acquired Tangosol Inc., the original owner of the product, in April 2007, at which point it had more than 100 direct customers.[2] Tangosol Coherence was also embedded in a number of other companies' software products, some of which belonged to Oracle Corporations's competitors.[3]

Coherence provides a variety of mechanisms to integrate with other services using TopLink, Java Persistence API, Oracle Golden Gate [4] or almost any other platform using Coherence provided APIs.
Coherence can be used to manage HTTP sessions via Coherence*Web.[5] With Coherence*Web, application services such as Oracle WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere, Apache Tomcat and others can reap the same benefits of performance, fault tolerance, and scalability as data.
In the summer of 2020, Coherence Community Edition was released as open source on GitHub.[6] Some Coherence usage patterns are also open source and are listed and supported through the Oracle Coherence incubator.[7] These patterns implement features such as messaging, work distribution and data replication across wide area networks with Coherence.
