Stargate, the gateway for some multi-models data API

Stargate is a runtime proxy that exposes CRUD and GraphQL APIs plus CQL and a document API atop Cassandra (3.11, 4.0, DSE) so clients use HTTP/JSON instead of DB drivers. Demo uses Docker Compose, curl and Swagger to create keyspaces, insert JSON via document shredding into column families, and query by fields; Cassandra best practice is replication factor three and linear scale by adding nodes. Astra DB includes Stargate and offers an Astra free tier to reproduce the demo.
