Oracle Coherence is mature and feature-rich product. However, there are a few old pain points. One pain point is cluster configuration. On complex projects, it is a challenge to consistently maintain custom Coherence XML and the rest of application configuration (often based on a Spring framework). Another pain point is testing. Due to internal implementation, it is impossible to start multiple Coherence nodes in a single JVM without special tricks. Multi-node test setup is important if the application is exploiting advanced features of the product. This is somehow addressed by the community (there are three open-source frameworks for testing Coherence), but the problem could have been solved by Oracle once and for all.

Oracle Coherence enables our customers to pay their bills and view their usage and all other kinds of information. We use Oracle’s Customer Care & Billing (CC&B) for managing all billing data. Our business customers use it to manage hundreds of accounts. Mobile devices need to load faster. Coherence lets us retrieve data from the CC&B and the database, build a full user profile, and store this information in the session in Coherence. With this, you do not need the back-end system anymore. After the first login, the site loads faster because it does not need to go to the back end. We have about 10 servers so that all 10 servers are used for load balancing. If I pay the bill, this information gets passed from one server to the next with Oracle synchronizing the data between servers. I can perform different actions on the same account. That information is handled by different servers, but Oracle synchronizes the data. The product quality is good. It is stable and easy to use; and increasingly flexible when you scale up.
