Designing Modern Data Platforms with Apache Cassandra and Beyond
summary
Presents an opinionated Data Platform Canvas and playbook that anchors Apache Cassandra (self-managed, Astra) into a full stack with Spark/EMR, Presto/Trino, Stargate APIs, and managed Kafka; prescribes a five‑point checklist (distributed, real‑time, extendable/open, automated, monitored) and a one-page-per-component knowledge schema for operability. Claims Cassandra enables near‑zero RPO/RTO and real‑time feature storage/serving for ML, shows reverse‑ETL and no‑code/low‑code ingestion, and demonstrates a production LLM app built with Astra and Bubble in an afternoon.
