k8ssandra
K8ssandra is an open-source distribution of Apache Cassandra for Kubernetes including API services and operational tooling.
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.
Cassandra survived its adolescent years by retaining its position as the database that scales more reliably than anything else, with a continual pursuit of operational simplicity at scale. It demonstrated its value even further by integrating with a broader data infrastructure stack of open source components, including the analytics engine Apache Spark, stream-processing platform Apache Kafka, and others.
