Stargate is an open source data gateway that sits between your app and your databases. Stargate brings together an API platform and data request coordination code into one OSS project.
Stargate abstracts Cassandra-specific concepts entirely from app developers and supports different API options, removing barriers of entry for new software developers.
Six years in the making, Apache Cassandra has reached its 4.0 GA release. This is a big milestone for one of the most important open source projects, and a significant step forward in the world of NoSQL and Fast Data.
As a DataStax Developer Advocate, my job is to help our amazing teams provide you with the best possible experience with Cassandra and our products.
The Stargate Documents API has made great strides in the past few months. After being introduced as open-source software in late 2020, its development has accelerated quickly. I’m here to give you the rundown: the premises on which we built it, the limitations we’ve faced and worked through, and most importantly, the improvements we have made as a community in the past few months. Let’s get started!
