The Future of Application Development: Cassandra, Kubernetes, Streaming Data & Open Source

DataStax Chief Product Officer Ed Anuff discussed the future of application development and the role that four key elements — Kubernetes, Cassandra, streaming data, and open source — will play in it during a conversation with Stephen O'Grady of RedMonk. He explained how innovations in app development are built off previous ideas, like Heroku and containers, and how Kubernetes brought containers into a standard control plane that could be leveraged in various scenarios. Anuff also highlighted the importance of NoSQL databases for developers building data-driven applications and the role of open source tools and technologies in empowering developers to build powerful cloud-native applications.
