Apache Cassandra Lunch #36: Specialized Databases on Cassandra

In Apache Cassandra Lunch #36: Specialized Databases on Cassandra, we cover various databases that can run on top of Cassandra. The live recording of Cassandra Lunch, which includes a more in-depth discussion and a demo, is embedded below in case you were not able to attend live. If you would like to attend Apache Cassandra Lunch live, it is hosted every Wednesday at 12 PM EST. Register here now!

In Apache Cassandra Lunch #36: Specialized Databases on Cassandra, we cover 18 different databases over 3 categories that use Apache Cassandra for storage. Additionally, most of these databases are open-source! If you want a more in-depth discussion of all these databases, be sure to check out the live recording of Cassandra Lunch that is embedded below! Don’t forget to like and subscribe as well!
