Betting on Cassandra, the Database of the Future
Apache Cassandra 4.0, released after three years and over 1,000 bug fixes, is considered the most stable database ever released due to its relentless commitment to quality. The open-source project has seen contributions from more than 200 people, with a focus on collaboration and dedication to the community of users, developers, and enterprises. Companies like Apple, Netflix, T-Mobile, and The Home Depot are successfully running Cassandra in production, leveraging its ability to manage massive amounts of fast-moving data reliably and scalably. With innovations like Stargate and K8ssandra, the future for Apache Cassandra looks promising as it continues to expand its ecosystem while maintaining its open-source foundation.
