Application Development

This section introduces design patterns for structuring app design for VMware Tanzu GemFire for Tanzu Application Service (GemFire for Tanzu Application Service). It presents a minimal view of cluster data organization to help with data architecture design. For a complete presentation of a cluster’s capabilities, see the VMware Tanzu GemFire Product Documentation.

An app that interacts with a GemFire for Tanzu Application Service service instance will use the Tanzu GemFire cluster within that service instance. Architecting the data storage for the app requires some familiarity with how clusters work.
