K8ssandra is an open-source distribution of Apache Cassandra for Kubernetes including API services and operational tooling.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The K8ssandra project uses cass-operator to automate Cassandra operations. Cass-operator defines a “CassandraDatatcenter” custom resource (CRD) to represent each top-level failure domain of a Cassandra cluster. This builds a higher-level abstraction based on Stateful Sets and Persistent Volumes.
For this reason, there has been a surge of recent interest in data infrastructure that is designed to take maximum advantage of the benefits that cloud computing provides. A cloud-native database is one that achieves the goals of scalability, elasticity, resiliency, observability and automation; the K8ssandra project is a great example. It packages Apache Cassandra and supporting tools into a production-ready Kubernetes deployment.
