Highly scalable and fault tolerance DB
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Apache Cassandra from other similar products?
Cassandra's architecture is decentralized, peer-to-peer, and masterless. Each node in the Cassandra cluster is equal, and data is distributed across nodes using a distributed hash ring. This scalability makes Cassandra suitable for large-scale, high-traffic applications. Cassandra ensures high availability by replicating data across multiple nodes. It uses a tunable consistency model, allowing developers to define the desired level of consistency and availability based on application requirements. Cassandra's design prioritizes high write performance, making it well-suited for write-heavy workloads.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's distributed model and high write speed make it attractive. It also allows tuning between write and read speed which provides flexibility to the developers. I also like its scalability ability which makes it suitable for large-scale db
What do you dislike most about this product?
Cassandra can't filter data without using key columns which makes it difficult to filter data many times.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would say if you want to go with highly scalable, fault tolerance, and distributed db then Cassandra should be your priority. It is very easy to do linear scaling in Cassandra by adding nodes.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Performance Enhancing
- Inspires Innovation
- Saves Time
