What we’re about
The Apache Cassandra Project develops a highly scalable second-generation distributed database, bringing together Dynamo's fully distributed design and Bigtable's ColumnFamily-based data model.
The NYC Apache Cassandra User Group is a highly awesome meetup group, bringing together cool people distributed across NYC to talk about our favorite NoSQL implementation Apache Cassandra.
