Apache Cassandra
Manage massive amounts of data, fast, without losing sleep

Apache Cassandra is an open-source, distributed NoSQL database designed for high availability, fault tolerance, and linear scalability. It supports replication across multiple data centers with no single points of failure, making it suitable for mission-critical workloads. Thousands of companies use it to handle large, active datasets with high read and write throughput.
Cassandra uses a masterless, distributed architecture with peer-to-peer replication across nodes and data centers, allowing linear scalability and fault tolerance without a single point of failure.
