"Apache Cassandra is a highly scalable, fast and reliable database and running it on Kubernetes removes many of the operation hurdles around installation, customization and maintenance. Cloudleaf, Inc., a leader in next generation digital supply chain solutions, has been running Cassandra at scale on Kubernetes as a stateful set for several years now as part of its digital visibility platform. With the huge adoption for Cassandra users on Kubernetes, projects like K8ssandra will be a huge boost for the Cassandra community, giving it a complete ecosystem of capabilities such as automated repairs, backups and monitoring. We are excited about K8ssandra,” said Ravi Madireddy, Lead Software Engineer at Cloudleaf.
