It can run as an embedded library, standalone server, or container image. Deployment options include a Kubernetes Operator and container images on OpenShift, AWS EC2, Azure, and GCP. Listed cache stores include filesystem, JDBC, SQL, RocksDB, and remote Infinispan clusters. Security features include role- and permission-based access control, security realms, and encryption for inter-cluster traffic and remote endpoints. It supports distributed transactions with optimistic or pessimistic locking, configurable isolation levels, and XA recovery. Native integrations listed include Spring AI, LangChain4j, LangChain, and Quarkus LangChain4j. Infinispan is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
