Welcome to Apex!

Apex is a unified platform for big data stream and batch processing. Use cases include ingestion, ETL, real-time analytics, alerts and real-time actions. Apex is a Hadoop-native YARN implementation and uses HDFS by default. It simplifies development and productization of Hadoop applications by reducing time to market. Key features include Enterprise Grade Operability with Fault Tolerance, State Management, Event Processing Guarantees, No Data Loss, In-memory Performance & Scalability and Native Window Support.

##Documentation

Please visit the documentation section. To get started with developing applications, have a look at Application Packages Guide and Application Developer Guide.

Malhar is the library of application building blocks and examples that will help you build out your first Apex application quickly.
