Apache Cassandra has proven to be one of the best solutions for storing and retrieving time series data at high velocity and high volume.

This talk will discuss how the storage model of Cassandra is ideal for time series use cases and go over examples of how to best build data models.

We will also cover pairing Apache Spark with Apache Cassandra to create a real time data analytics platform.

Attendees will leave this session knowing how to build their own real time data analytics platform, and will be shocked at how easy it is!
