How does Astra DB compare to other DBaaS solutions?
Astra has been built on the open-source project Apache Cassandra®, which provides its unique ability to scale and work seamlessly over availability zones, regions, and even multiple clouds. DataStax has combined this one-of-a-kind database with integrations that lower costs and empower developers. While our APIs are similar to other DBaaS solutions, we can deliver scale and costs that make Astra stand out in comparison.
