listAdd(numbers, 77); listAdd(numbers, 77);
listAdd(numbers,24); listAdd(numbers,24);

for( int i; i<listSize(numbers); i++) for (int n : numbers)

 Background
32

● Current real-time aggregation has excellent performance

 Using heap memory aggregation cache
● Scales by adding new workflow instances or threads
● But the current real-time aggregation agent has some limitations
 Not possible to access same aggregation cache from different workflows

© Digital Route AB 2014 - Proprietary and Confidential Information

 Real-time aggregation storage
33

● Real-time and scalable storage support for our real-time aggregation agent
● Guaranteed service continuation
● Geographical replicated data
● Simplified Horizontal scale out
● Allows concurrent access from multiple real-time workflows
● Scales with additional workflows and storage nodes
● Uses clustered in-memory database technology
 Couchbase NoSQL database
