Building Data Services with Apache Cassandra

The Stargate project aims to provide developer-friendly idioms using Apache Cassandra together with its JSON API. This approach leverages data APIs and advanced data modeling to produce data services, making it easier for application developers to balance the considerations of responsiveness, resilience, and scalability. By focusing on purpose-built designs rather than general-purpose ones, Stargate aims to improve developer productivity in the database world, much like higher-level programming languages have done in the past. The JSON API is just the first step in this new paradigm for database development, with more improvements and features expected in the future.
