Cassandra Integration & Benchmarking

Details
Hi All,
Our next meetup will be on the 9th of March, We are provisionally covering two topics on the night. More details on speakers to follow!
-
Spring Data & Cassandra - We will be looking at how to use the java based Spring Data repository abstractions with Apache Cassandra and modelling with same. It is an abstraction layer on top of the Native DataStax Driver.
-
Cassandra Benchmarking - This talk will be about approaches to benchmarking your own code against your Cassandra clusters. We will cover stress testing, traffic models, simulations as well as some of the tools out there for larger scale stress & soak.
If anyone would like to contribute in some way to these topics or has a topic themselves they would like to present on just reach out to me via meetup.
As usual there will be swag on the night and some food provided by the ICS. DataStax will provide the thirst quenchers for the evening!
See you there!
Niall.
