Summary

Apache Cassandra® has gained popularity due to its high availability and scalability, making it a trusted choice for thousands of companies running high-performance applications. Recent innovations have expanded Cassandra's capabilities beyond just being highly scalable and fault-tolerant. For example, Project K8ssandra simplifies the process of running Cassandra on Kubernetes, while Stargate offers modern data APIs for developers to use with Cassandra. This includes REST, schemaless JSON, and GraphQL, allowing for faster app development and reduced time to launch applications. Additionally, operators can leverage Cassandra as a multi-model database, consolidating their database sprawl into one platform. Stargate is the default API of Astra, a serverless Cassandra-as-a-Service by DataStax, which offers free access for prototyping purposes. Developers can use tools like Postman to interact with the cloud APIs and switch to a pay-as-you-go service when transitioning from prototype to production. For in-house deployment, operators can install Stargate to work with existing Cassandra OSS or DSE systems. DataStax offers assistance for using Stargate with their various products and services.
