Cassandra
Distributed wide-column NoSQL database designed for massive scale and zero single point of failure across multiple data centers.
Overview
Apache Cassandra stores data in a wide-column model across a cluster with no single master node, so writes and reads keep working even if entire data centers go offline. It's built for very high write throughput and linear scalability by adding more nodes.
Cassandra is a fit for teams building applications that need to stay available across multiple regions with no single point of failure - messaging, IoT, time-series at scale - a distinct data model and consistency model from the document-oriented MongoDB or relational PostgreSQL already in this catalog.
