Agenda
9:00am PDT
- Welcome and Introduction with Patrick McFadin
- Search and Analytics with SAI
with Carlos Rolo
Cassandra 5 introduced Storage Attached Indexes (SAI), but that was only the beginning. New syntax and new capabilities make this ever-evolving feature critical for application developers. If you are new to SAI, it’s a great time to learn more and take advantage of this innovative feature that compliments Cassandra's best qualities. - CEP-21: Bringing Strong Consistency to Cassandra's Cluster Management with Aaron Ploetz
Transactional Cluster Management(TCM) is a revolutionary new Cluster Metadata Service (CMS) that transforms how Cassandra handles critical cluster operations. Learn how this feature makes maintenance windows shorter, cluster scaling operations faster, and eliminates issues caused by gossip-based metadata propagation. - CEP-42: The Constraints Framework with Bernardo Botella Corbi
Ever wished you could enforce data rules directly in Cassandra instead of your application code? CEP-42 brings powerful data validation right into your CQL schemas. Define string lengths, numeric bounds, and more at the database level – making your applications more straightforward and your data cleaner. - Building a Document API the Cassandra way
with Aaron Morton and Aaron Ploetz
Document APIs aren’t new, and they are a mainstay in the developer toolbox. Making them work in Cassandra means working with Cassandra's tables and queries. Learn how the Data API project is working to make all this work for developers and operators. - CEP-38: Modernizing Cassandra Management with CQL
with Maxim Muzafarov
Learn how this change makes operations available through the CQL we all know and love, accessible, and more transparent across CQL, REST API, and JMX. As a result, your "first five minutes" experience with the cluster will be both intuitive and efficient. - Working with Accord with Patrick McFadin
Cassandra's new multi-key transactions, powered by Accord, introduce an exciting new syntax for multi-key transactions, along with enhancements to the existing CQL. Learn how to enable Accord for both new and existing workloads, and understand how transactional and non-transactional queries interact before, during, and after the migration to Accord. - Revolutionizing Data Movement and Integration with Francisco Guerrero
The Cassandra Sidecar project introduces two transformative features. First, CEP-40 enables direct data transfer, allowing you to perform parallel migrations while maintaining quorum. Second, CEP-44 delivers native Kafka integration for Change Data Capture (CDC), providing built-in deduplication, consistency level enforcement, and flexible type conversion for your streaming data changes. - The Road to Cassandra Sidecar's 1.0 Milestone with Bernardo Botella Corbi
Cassandra Sidecar, born out of CEP1, is a sidecar process for managing Cassandra database. The project is on its way to reaching a significant milestone—the release of version 1.0—this presentation will delve into sidecar's evolution leading up to this release.
11:10am PDT
- Closing Remarks with Patrick McFadin
