Introducing the New JSON API for Astra DB: Develop AI Applications in JavaScript with Ease

DataStax has added vector search capabilities to its Astra DB, a database-as-a-service built on open source Apache Cassandra, to help developers create AI applications. The new JSON API for Astra DB enables JavaScript developers to access the most powerful vector database in the world through a simple API. This integration is fully compatible with MongooseJS, a popular framework for object modeling on top of document databases. With this addition, JavaScript developers can now easily build enterprise-grade Gen AI applications using familiar paradigms and frameworks. The JSON API is currently in public preview and available to anyone who wants to try it out.
