About Apache Cassandra
Apache Cassandra is a distributed wide-column store database designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers with no single point of failure. Originally developed at Facebook, it became an Apache top-level project.
Cassandra provides linear scalability with the ability to add capacity by simply adding nodes. It offers tunable consistency, allowing developers to balance consistency and availability per operation.
The database excels at write-heavy workloads and time series data. CQL (Cassandra Query Language) provides a SQL-like interface. It supports multi-datacenter replication natively for disaster recovery.
DataStax Astra DB provides Cassandra as a managed service. Cassandra powers some of the world's largest data workloads at companies like Apple, Netflix, and Instagram.
