How to Build Modern Apps Faster with Cassandra and GCP

Companies are accelerating digital transformation efforts by developing rich, responsive applications that leverage massive data. Apache Cassandra® as the underlying data store is often seen as the perfect fit to making this a reality because it’s highly scalable with 100% uptime. However, Cassandra is not without its challenges: it’s hard to standup and maintain, hard to create applications for and can be expensive. Astra DB, a Cassandra-compatible Database-as-a-Service on Google Cloud Platform, can address these challenges head on.

Watch to learn how Astra DB can help developers:

  • Create applications faster,
  • Reduce the administrative burden for operators
  • Streamline architectural considerations with its serverless, API first approach.


The video wraps up with live demo of a rich, interactive application built on Astra DB.
