DataStax Announces Preview Build of Kong with Support for Astra

Kong has released a preview build with support for DataStax Astra (beta), a cloud-native database-as-a-service built on Apache Cassandra™, making it accessible to every developer using the world's most popular open-source microservice API gateway. This integration aims to provide developers with full access to Cassandra in the cloud, enabling them to manage all their data on Astra and simplify application development while reducing administrative overhead and costs. Both DataStax and Kong are committed to the open-source community and helping developers build modern, data-rich applications in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
