webtau VS stargate

To run the test, we will use WebTau command line tool. One way to install it is to use brew. Other options available in documentation Installation section.

Just in case, here is the tool I developed, open sourced and use daily at work: https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau

For scenarios like yours I also tend to do black box testing. I maintain testing framework called webtau (https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau) and I use it to test a variety of apps. Webtau uses Java or Groovy language to write tests. I use it to test apps written in python/go/java/typescript/etc. The beauty of black box testing is you don't care what tech was used to write the software.

The right url for this open source tool is https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau

I often use REPL mode in webtau tool (web test automation: https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau). With the REPL mode I don't have to restart test suite from scratch and can trigger one call or one test at a time preserving the context.

Have you seen webtau (https://github.com/testingisdocumenting/webtau)?

Datastax Astra is built on Apache Cassandra. In addition to great documentation, Astra offers a robust free tier that can run small production workloads, pet projects, or just let you play—all for free, no credit card required. Cassandra can be tricky for hardcore SQL developers, because it uses a different slightly different query language (CQL), but when you get Astra, Stargate is there to let you interact with your data through APIs. Our open source Stargate product provides REST, GraphQL, and schemaless document APIs in addition to native language drivers. If you like them but don’t want to use our products, that’s fine! It’s completely open source and you can implement it on your own system.

DataStax built Stargate into Astra to give us, app developers, a natural data API stack which meshes with the Jamstack (or serverless stack of your choice). Stargate in Astra is built on the rock solid NoSQL data engine (Apache Cassandra) which powers Netflix, Instagram, Yelp, iCloud and other apps we all use everyday.

To make it easy for your app to interact with the database, we created Stargate.io. It’s an open-source data gateway with three APIs that work with Astra DB right out of the box. Instead of having to read up on different APIs and databases, all you have to do is pick one of the three Stargate APIs and get to work on your application.

Twelve-plus years after its invention, Cassandra is now used by approximately 90 percent of the Fortune 100, and it’s appeal is broadening quickly, driven by a rush to harness today’s “data deluge” with apps that are globally distributed and always-on. Add to this recent advances in the Cassandra ecosystem such as Stargate, K8ssandra, and cloud services like Astra DB, and the cost and complexity barriers to using Cassandra are fading into the past. So while it’s fair to say that while Cassandra might have been ahead of its time in 2007, it’s primed and ready for the data demands of the 2020s and beyond.

Until now, aggregate functions were only available using cqlsh (the CQL Shell). However, with the Stargate 1.0.25 release, they are now also available using the GraphQL API. In this blog entry, I’ll walk you through the process to get early access to this exciting new functionality in Stargate, and how to set up everything you need to test your own aggregate queries.

Stargate is an open-source data gateway that makes it simple to query any Cassandra database using GraphQL types, queries, and mutations. When you add the Stargate GraphQL API to a Cassandra deployment, it scans the database and automatically creates HTTP endpoints with GraphQL queries and mutations for the objects it finds.

BattleStax is implemented as a JAMStack app that uses Stargate, Netlify, DataStax Astra DB, and GitHub to demonstrate how to build and deploy an application using modern, scalable architectures. In this post, we’ll break down the video to help you quickly create your own BattleStax game using React and Redux — implemented with a CI/CD pipeline, global content delivery network (CDN), and Apache Cassandra®.
