Cache is an unfortunate name, as many Coherence customers use Coherence as a system-of-record rather than a lossy store of data.

* *Data local processing* - an ability to send a function to the relevant storage node to execute processing logic for the appropriate entries with exclusive access
4343
* *Partition local transactions* - an ability to perform scalable transactions by associating data (thus being on the same partition) and manipulating other entries on the same partition potentially across caches

* *Non-blocking / async NamedCache API*

* *C{pp} and .NET clients* - access the same NamedCache API from either C{pp} or .NET

* *Polyglot clients* - access the same NamedCache API from C{pp}, Go, Java, JavaScript, .NET, or Python
4646
* *Portable Object Format* - optimized serialization format, with the ability to navigate the serialized form for optimized queries, aggregations, or data processing
4747
* *Integration with Databases* - Database & third party data integration with CacheStores including both synchronous or asynchronous writes
4848
* *CohQL* - ansi-style query language with a console for adhoc queries
4949
* *Topics* - distributed topics implementation offering pub/sub messaging with the storage capacity the cluster and parallelizable subscribers
50+
* *Repository API* - a framework implementing the Repository pattern from Domain-Driven Design, abstracting persistent storage implementation from application code, with advanced features like support for pagination, projections, streaming, and updating in-place

* *Microservices integration* - broad and close integration with Helidon, Micronaut, and Spring for developing microservices applications using Coherence as a data source or cache
52+
* *coherence-concurrent* - Coherence-backed implementations of types from the `java.util.concurrent` package enabling distributed process coordination through the grid
