  To get quality management to a place the project needed, there had to be an early code freeze to stop continuous changes and the endless tail-chasing that can cause. This has meant that a relatively small number of big features have been released, yet innovation has been on the sidelines with an eye toward the days after 4.0 and after the code freeze is lifted. Beyond the inner circle of the project, we already have a great ecosystem of projects and companies around Cassandra that increase access and make it easier to use. Expect to see this grow even more as the need for a stable foundation in distributed applications increases. Projects like K8ssandra and Stargate can rely on Cassandra and focus on their own project goals. If you have a project that needs a reliable and trusted data store like Cassandra, many people in our community are ready to help. You just need to ask.

  Today is a big day for those of us in the Apache Cassandra community. After a long uphill climb, Apache Cassandra 4.0 has finally shipped. I say finally, because it has at times seemed like an elusive goal. I’ve been involved in the Cassandra project for almost 10 years now and I have seen a lot of ups and downs. So I feel this day marks an important milestone that isn’t just a version number. This is an important milestone in the lifecycle of a database project that has come into its own as an important database used around the world. The 4.0 release is not only incredibly stable in the history of Cassandra, but it’s also quite possibly the most stable release of any database. Now it’s ready to launch into the next 10 years of cloud native data; it has the computer science and hard-won history to make a huge impact. Today’s milestone is the end of the beginning.
