Stargate, an open-source data gateway, is now available on Astra as the official data API, making it easier for developers to integrate Apache Cassandra into their applications. The integration of Stargate in Astra provides a natural data API stack that works with popular frameworks like Jamstack and services such as Netlify. Developers can use JSON via schemaless document APIs or database schema-aware GraphQL and RESTful APIs, while Stargate serves as the proxy that coordinates these requests to different flavors of Cassandra. This integration simplifies data modeling, table creation, configuration code, partition keys, and clustering columns, allowing developers to add data to Apache Cassandra in one line of code.
