# Geode

## Overview

Joule’s **Geode Publisher Transport** leverages Apache Geode as a high-performance, distributed event transport, ideal for complex, high-availability use cases.

This system distributes events across a Geode cluster for further processing with **minimal latency, high concurrency and reliable transaction** support.

Geode's shared-nothing architecture ensures database-like consistency while maintaining low-latency performance. This robust architecture, deployed in production for over 15 years, has proven effective for large-scale enterprise solutions that demand both scalability and resilience.

## Example & DSL attributes

This example configures the **Geode Publisher** to connect to a local Geode cluster (address `localhost`, port `10334`).

It uses `employee_id` as the key to identify records in the `employees` region.

Data is serialised with the `PDX` format, which is efficient for distributed caching and allows for compatibility across Geode clients.

```yaml
geode publisher:
  connection:
    locator address: localhost
    locator port: 10334

  key: employee_id
  region: employees
  serialization type: PDX
```
