Stop Using Databases

How fast can you put an app into production? What keeps you from going faster? One guess: your database. If you’re tired of the way its constant care and feeding slows development, you’re not alone.

There's a better way—one that many organizations are already using to build cloud-native applications rapidly and reliably. The first step? Break free of traditional databases.

Whether you’re a startup developer speeding new apps to market or an enterprise developer who wants to move just as fast, this ebook will help you rethink real-time data apps so you can:

  • Connect any app to any database using any API you like
  • Gain new agility to move your apps across clouds
  • Replace operational drudgery with serverless freedom

GigaOM

Cassandra Total Cost of Ownership Study

Is a serverless Cassandra really more cost effective than managing your own Apache Cassandra™ clusters? Analyst firm GigaOm conducted a comprehensive study, comparing serverless Cassandra with self-managed Cassandra.

Cassandra Total Cost of Ownership Study Cover
  • 75% overall savings
  • 3x less complexity (not specific to migration)
  • 22% lower infrastructure costs

This study examines the full cost and true value of Apache Cassandra self-managed on Google Cloud (GCP) and the cost of a managed, serverless, DBaaS built on Cassandra (DataStax Astra DB). Costs include dedicated compute hardware (for self-managed Cassandra), cost per read and write operation (on serverless Cassandra), storage growth (each write operation adds new data) and people cost in our three-year total cost of ownership calculations.
