As a feature-rich NoSQL solution, Apache Cassandra offers a set of functionalities tailored to businesses and developers who demand performance, reliability, and horizontal scalability.
Cassandra is designed to handle failures; data is replicated across multiple nodes, ensuring no single point of failure and continuous availability.
Offers linear scalability allowing it to incrementally accommodate more data and users as demand grows by simply adding more nodes to the cluster.
Supports a wide variety of data formats and structures, from key-value pairs to complex nested data types, making it adaptable to different use cases.
Every node in the Cassandra cluster has the same role, eliminating complex master-slave architectures and ensuring no bottlenecks or single points of failure.
Cassandra's architecture is optimized for high read and write throughput, supporting numerous concurrent operations with minimal latency.
Cassandra ensures data is written to disk after every operation, providing durable storage even in the face of hardware failure.
Allows configuring the level of consistency required for read and write operations to balance between consistency and performance as per application need.
Provides a familiar SQL-like language that simplifies application development and data operations.
