Talk Descriptions:
Future of Cassandra® based GenAI with IBM Watsonx
With the acquisition of DataStax, the leading provider of Apache Cassandra® based solutions, IBM is demonstrating its commitment to the future of this critical Apache project. We'll help the community understand how this drives the IBM Watsonx platform and GenAI strategy.
ACID Transactions with Apache Cassandra
Get ready for an introduction to the next big feature in Apache Cassandra® - ACID transactions! Watch as these operational concepts come to life with a real-time game of "DataStaxOpoly," (our tech twist on the classic board game) and you'll see how each property purchase and rent payment becomes a real-world example of a multi-partition, ACID-compliant financial transaction across a distributed system. Whether you're a developer or an architect, this session will give you a practical understanding of distributed ACID transactions coming in the next release of Cassandra.
Cassandra @ Netflix (title may change)
