Use Cases

Use Infinispan in real-world applications

Boost Application Performance

Sub-millisecond reads and writes with embedded or client-server mode. Side-caching, near-caching, and session externalization.

High Availability & Elasticity

Distribute data across clusters with automatic rebalancing. No single point of failure, elastic scaling, and session externalization.

Backup Across Data Centers

Cross-site replication with active-active or active-passive topologies. Automatic conflict resolution and disaster recovery.

Caching

Side-caching boosts speed, reduces backend load, cuts costs, improves reliability during spikes or outages, and keeps data fresh with flexible expiration.

Semantic Caching for LLMs

Cache LLM responses by semantic similarity instead of exact key match. Save tokens, reduce latency, and cut API costs.

Vector Store for RAG

Store document embeddings, retrieve relevant chunks via kNN search, and feed them to LLMs as grounding context.

Redis drop-in replacement

Infinispan understands the RESP3 protocol and supports a large number of Redis commands. Connect any compatible Redis client without changing any configuration.

Memcached drop-in replacement

Infinispan understands both the text and binary protocols. Connect any compatible Memcached client without changing any configuration.

Agentic AI Caching

Cache tool results, API responses, and intermediate computations for AI agents. Reduce redundant calls and speed up agent workflows.

Conversation Memory Store

Persist multi-turn LLM conversation history across restarts, scale horizontally, and replicate globally with cross-site replication.

MCP Server for AI Agents

Built-in MCP server lets AI assistants and agents query, cache, and manage Infinispan data through the Model Context Protocol.
