Elastic MDS¶

Elastic MDS is MetaFluent's elastic Market Data System: an enterprise-class platform for distributing real-time and non-real-time content to scalable applications through the industry-standard APIs you already know - JMS, JDBC, and SQL. If you know those, you already know how to use Elastic MDS.

Elastic MDS is built on the StreamLens integration framework.

• Architect? Architecture: Basics, then Architecture: Advanced.
• Building an application? JMS or JDBC.
• Deploying / operating? Deployment: Basics and Monitoring & Diagnostics.
• Configuring / tuning? Configuration: Basics.

New terms are defined in the Glossary.
