A New Hands-On Lab to Guide You Through App Migrations

The text discusses the challenge of migrating to new technology while maintaining business operations, particularly for enterprises using Apache Cassandra or other CQL-compatible databases. It introduces DataStax's Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) suite, which enables seamless migration from one cluster to another without service interruptions. The ZDM suite is an open-source set of tools designed for moving applications to serverless multi-cloud database services like Astra DB, built on Cassandra and optimized for real-time applications with large data volumes, low latency, and flexible data models. The text highlights successful migrations by enterprises such as Hornet, MegaZebra, and WellAware using the ZDM suite. It also promotes an interactive lab that guides users through a migration from a Cassandra cluster to an Astra DB cluster using the ZDM suite, requiring only a compatible browser and GitHub account.
