Free Online Training for Apache Cassandra

In our training courses you will learn how to model your data, code, and design Cassandra systems via an easy-to-use, self-paced, online format. You can pre-register for online courses today!

Free DataStax Enterprise Subscriptions for Startups* Everywhere

One of our goals at DataStax is to make sophisticated NoSQL software available and affordable to everyone. Our new startups program does just that for companies that are just starting out and don’t have a lot of cash. We’ve designed very generous guidelines for inclusion in the program so that literally everyone can use our DataStax Enterprise platform, to power their business with software costs not being a barrier.

A Brand New Toolset for Apache Cassandra Developers

Our new DataStax DevCenter software provides an outstanding visual query interface for creating and running Cassandra Query Language (CQL) commands against Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise clusters. DevCenter runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and is available for download today.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [address removed] regarding any questions about these programs or for anything else Apache Cassandra/DataStax resource related.
