As long-time members of the Cassandra community, DataStax understands the power and flexibility that Apache Cassandra brings to applications, along with the challenges teams face when scaling and maintaining deployments. Having worked alongside countless organizations, we created Astra DB and DataStax Enterprise (DSE) to build upon the robust foundation your team has invested in.

Both solutions go beyond basic Cassandra functionality – Astra DB delivers automated repairs, simplified security, and modern API integration in a hosted environment, while DSE 6.9 enhances self-managed deployments with vector search, Data API, and advanced indexing. Whether you're running a small deployment or managing hundreds of nodes across multiple regions, both solutions help you do more with less infrastructure, overhead, and operational complexity.
