Accelerate Application Modernization with the Zero Downtime Migration Suite

DataStax has released an open-source Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) suite for Apache Cassandra® to simplify the process of migrating production databases. The ZDM suite aims to reduce downtime and risks associated with structured data migrations, offering a proven technology that has successfully migrated large, production workloads. It enables users to easily migrate applications between various Cassandra cluster types and deployment scenarios, including Apache Cassandra, DataStax Enterprise (DSE), DataStax Astra DB in the cloud of choice, or any other CQL-compatible datastores. The primary component of ZDM is the ZDM Proxy, a fully open-source and lightweight proxy that resides between the application and the source cluster. It ensures write consistency on both clusters and can be configured with a minimum of three nodes for high availability.
