DataStax Joins the Cloud Native Computing Foundation

DataStax has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to collaborate with its communities and broaden integrations with CNCF projects in a hybrid cloud-driven, cloud-native data world. The company believes that Apache Cassandra will be the standard database for scale-out data moving forward. DataStax recently open-sourced their version of a Kubernetes Operator for Cassandra and plans to work with the Cassandra community on a single, open-source Kubernetes operator. They are also developing DataStax Astra, a cloud-native service powered by Cassandra, to make it easier for users to develop and deploy data-driven applications without traditional database administration hassles.
