Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/apache-cassandra

Apache Cassandra is an open-source, distributed NoSQL database designed for handling large volumes of data across many commodity servers with high availability and no single point of failure. Database administrators and backend engineers use it for applications requiring massive scalability and fast write performance, such as messaging systems and IoT data storage. It is used by companies needing horizontally scalable database solutions.
