Apache Cassandra Town Hall: mondayDB - Crafting a Database from Scratch
Details
We're excited to host the November Town Hall for Apache Cassandra® users! This is a monthly series that provides a place for end users to talk about their use of Cassandra, for the Cassandra engineering community to share project and release updates, and for you to meet others and stay up-to-date on community activities. Town halls occur at 8am PT on the fourth Thursday of every month (although this November one has been pushed a week later due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the US).
Submit your use case/case study via this form if you would like to share it with the community.

So let’s look at how we’re doing!
