Cassandra Forward

Given the current 2023 macroeconomic climate, Apache Cassandra® Community members are finding it challenging to travel and attend the Cassandra Summit in-person this March. Therefore the Linux Foundation and the Summit partners have decided to postpone Cassandra Summit until December 2023. There is a lot of momentum in the Apache Cassandra project, with many new capabilities and cutting-edge use cases. Despite not being able to meet in-person, we can gather together online as a community.
Join us on March 14th for Cassandra Forward, a free two hour virtual event hosted by DataStax.

• Real-time data pipelines with Flink and Cassandra

Netflix uses a lot of Cassandra to power our services. Come learn how and why we capture change data events in Cassandra using Flink for use in other systems.

• Code That Can't Fail, Backed By Cassandra

An introduction to durable execution and how Temporal implements it using Cassandra. Durable execution transparently persists each step of a program so that if the machine running the code crashes, another machine can continue executing at the next step. It also has built-in durable timers and automatic retries for anything that might fail. Combined, it makes it simple for developers to write reliable code.
Loren Sands-Ramshaw | Temporal

• What’s next for Apache Cassandra use cases?

Looking even further forward into the next few years, how will you use Cassandra? The two areas of our community that will grow the fastest are cloud native and AI/ML workloads. Cassandra was built for the next generation of applications. We are adding even more capabilities to help you develop faster with less effort.
