How to Manage the Data Challenges of a Cloud-Native Platform

K8ssandra is an operational data platform designed to automate daily operations of a cloud-native platform, particularly those involving persistent data. It combines Apache Cassandra's power of scale and high availability with Kubernetes' capability to manage containers. Key features include automated backup creation, access to data, simple monitoring, and the ability to perform basic database operations through its unified API gateway, Stargate. Additionally, K8ssandra supports automatic repair operations on Cassandra using Reaper, which helps maintain consistent and stable nodes by combating entropy.
