I'm not a database driver expert, I'm just a Ruby developer who really likes Cassandra, but I've written a CQL driver. It wasn't hard, and it feels really good to now have an understanding of how my applications talk to Cassandra. To know what happens when I connect, prepare a statement, or how my data is encoded on its way to the database. When my CQL collections got big and I got weird results back, I could use my knowledge to quickly debug the issue. I'd like to give you an overview of the new native protocol from the driver perspective, maybe it can help you understand Cassandra the way it has helped me.

This document discusses using Docker containers to run Cassandra clusters at Walmart. It proposes transforming existing Cassandra hardware into containers to better utilize unused compute. It also suggests building new Cassandra clusters in containers and migrating old clusters to double capacity on existing hardware and save costs. Benchmark results show Docker containers outperforming virtual machines on OpenStack and Azure in terms of reads, writes, throughput and latency for an in-house application.
The document discusses the evolution of Cassandra's data modeling capabilities over different versions of CQL. It covers features introduced in each version such as user defined types, functions, aggregates, materialized views, and storage attached secondary indexes (SASI). It provides examples of how to create user defined types, functions, materialized views, and SASI indexes in CQL. It also discusses when each feature should and should not be used.
Cisco has a large global IT infrastructure supporting many applications, databases, and employees. The document discusses Cisco's existing customer service and commerce systems (CSCC/SMS3) and some of the performance, scalability, and user experience issues. It then presents a proposed new architecture using modern technologies like Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and microservices to address these issues and improve agility, performance, scalability, uptime, and the user interface.
Data Modeling is the one of the first things to sink your teeth into when trying out a new database. That's why we are going to cover this foundational topic in enough detail for you to get dangerous. Data Modeling for relational databases is more than a touch different than the way it's approached with Cassandra. We will address the quintessential query-driven methodology through a couple of different use cases, including working with time series data for IoT. We will also demo a new tool to get you bootstrapped quickly with MovieLens sample data. This talk should give you the basics you need to get serious with Apache Cassandra.
Hear about how Coursera uses Cassandra as the core of its scalable online education platform. I'll discuss the strengths of Cassandra that we leverage, as well as some limitations that you might run into as well in practice.
In the second part of this talk, we'll dive into how best to effectively use the Datastax Java drivers. We'll dig into how the driver is architected, and use this understanding to develop best practices to follow. I'll also share a couple of interesting bug we've run into at Coursera.

This talk covers scaling Cassandra to a fast growing user base. Alex and Isaias will cover new best practices and how to work with the strengths and weaknesses of Cassandra at large scale. They will discuss how to adapt to bottlenecks while providing a rich feature set to the playstation community.
Cassandra @ Sony: The good, the bad, and the ugly part 2DataStax Academy
Â
The document discusses Cassandra's use by Sony Network Entertainment to handle the large amount of user and transaction data from the growing PlayStation Network. It describes how the relational database they previously used did not scale sufficiently, so they transitioned to using Cassandra in a denormalized and customized way. Some of the techniques discussed include caching user data locally on application servers, secondary indexing, and using a real-time indexer to enable personalized search by friends.
This document provides guidance on setting up server monitoring, application metrics, log aggregation, time synchronization, replication strategies, and garbage collection for a Cassandra cluster. Key recommendations include:
1. Use monitoring tools like Monit, Munin, Nagios, or OpsCenter to monitor processes, disk usage, and system performance. Aggregate all logs centrally with tools like Splunk, Logstash, or Greylog.
2. Install NTP to synchronize server times which are critical for consistency.
3. Use the NetworkTopologyStrategy replication strategy and avoid SimpleStrategy for production.
4. Avoid shared storage and focus on low latency and high throughput using multiple local disks.
5. Understand

It then describes Spark's advantages like in-memory processing and rich APIs. The document discusses Spark Streaming and the Spark Cassandra Connector. It also introduces DataStax Enterprise which integrates Spark, Cassandra and Solr to allow real-time analytics without separate clusters. Examples of streaming use cases and demos are provided.
Introduction to Data Modeling with Apache CassandraDataStax Academy
Â
This document provides an introduction to data modeling with Apache Cassandra. It discusses how Cassandra data models are designed based on the queries an application will perform, unlike relational databases which are designed based on normalization rules. Key aspects covered include avoiding joins by denormalizing data, using a partition key to group related data on nodes, and controlling the clustering order of columns. The document provides examples of modeling time series and tag data in Cassandra.
The document discusses different data storage options for small, medium, and large datasets. It argues that relational databases do not scale well for large datasets due to limitations with replication, normalization, sharding, and high availability. The document then introduces Apache Cassandra as a fast, distributed, highly available, and linearly scalable database that addresses these limitations through its use of a hash ring architecture and tunable consistency levels. It describes Cassandra's key features including replication, compaction, and multi-datacenter support.
Enabling Search in your Cassandra Application with DataStax EnterpriseDataStax Academy
Â
This document provides an overview of using Datastax Enterprise (DSE) Search to enable full-text search capabilities in Cassandra applications. It discusses how DSE Search integrates Solr/Lucene indexing with the Cassandra database to allow searching of application data without requiring a separate search cluster, external ETL processes, or custom application code for data management. The document also includes examples of different types of searches that can be performed, such as filtering, faceting, geospatial searches, and joins. It concludes with basic steps for getting started with DSE Search such as creating a Solr core and executing search queries using CQL.
The document discusses common bad habits that can occur when working with Apache Cassandra and provides recommendations to avoid them. Specifically, it addresses issues like sliding back into a relational mindset when the data model is different, improperly benchmarking Cassandra systems, having slow client performance, and neglecting important operations tasks. The presentation provides guidance on how to approach data modeling, querying, benchmarking, driver usage, and operations management in a Cassandra-oriented way.
This document provides an overview and examples of modeling data in Apache Cassandra. It begins with an introduction to thinking about data models and queries before modeling, and emphasizes that Cassandra requires modeling around queries due to its limitations on joins and indexes. The document then provides examples of modeling user, video, and other entity data for a video sharing application to support common queries. It also discusses techniques for handling queries that could become hotspots, such as bucketing or adding random values. The examples illustrate best practices for data duplication, materialized views, and time series data storage in Cassandra.
The document discusses best practices for using Apache Cassandra, including:
- Topology considerations like replication strategies and snitches
- Booting new datacenters and replacing nodes
- Security techniques like authentication, authorization, and SSL encryption
- Using prepared statements for efficiency
- Asynchronous execution for request pipelining
- Batch statements and their appropriate uses
- Improving performance through techniques like the new row cache

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Â
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Â
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
