Built on the rock-solid Apache Cassandra® NoSQL database, K8ssandra brings together a complete operational data platform for Kubernetes including APIs, monitoring, and backups.
Is there a cost to running Apache Cassandra in containers? How about on Kubernetes? We decided to answer those questions and benchmark K8ssandra on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud …
The K8ssandra v1.2.0 release adds support for the latest Apache Cassandra release, 4.0-RC1, and brings increased continuity to the ecosystem with the latest release of Cass Operator.
Cass-operator is an Apache Cassandra operator for Kubernetes managed as part of the K8ssandra project. There are a lot of configuration options available that are not necessarily obvious at first. …
“New Relic is highly supportive of standardizing community-supported tools for operating and managing Cassandra clusters. We are excited about the K8ssandra launch and look forward to actively contributing and collaborating with the broader open source community. This is a great starting point for new and existing users to run Cassandra in Kubernetes and benefit from direct access to the best available Cassandra expertise and practices,”

Hassle-free Cassandra clusters management
Simplicity
From install command to a fully operational cluster in minutes, K8ssandra makes it trivial to install, configure, and manage a complete data platform. Native Kubernetes operators handle day-to-day operation of services.
At its core K8ssandra is powered by Apache Cassandra®, a database driving many of the most popular websites on the internet today. With a focus on availability across a suite of failure domains, the database and its data stay online.
With Cassandra’s peer-to-peer architecture at its foundation, K8ssandra allows for linear scaling alongside changes in traffic. With the addition of Stargate, operators can choose how to scale, from query processing to data capacity.
