To maximize the potential of Apache Cassandra 5.x, pairing it with Java 17 and the Shenandoah Garbage Collector is critical. While Java 11 is supported, this combination offers a significant leap in performance, stability, and operational efficiency. Shenandoah's low-latency GC combined with Java 17's advancements results in higher throughput and predictable latency profiles.

pgrading Apache Cassandra from 4.x to 5.x is a critical, multi-step process. This guide outlines a recommended three-step strategy to methodically transition your cluster. This approach ensures data consistency and minimizes downtime while implementing the significant performance and storage efficiency improvements introduced in Cassandra 5.x.

If you calculate your infrastructure TCO by looking at your monthly AWS or Azure invoice, you are missing the 60% of costs hiding below the surface. In our latest deep dive, we expose the "Day 2" operations premium, the high price of the skills gap, and the hidden tax of vendor lock-in.

ScyllaDB’s shift to a source-available license with a 10TB data cap is causing many large-scale data teams to reconsider their NoSQL database choices. Apache Cassandra 5.0 now stands out as the leading open-source, high-performance distributed database, offering dramatic improvements in storage efficiency, operational reliability, and ease of scaling.

Kubernetes 1.33 is here, delivering game-changing updates for performance and security. This release introduces in-place pod scaling to adjust resources without downtime, native sidecar support for more reliable helper containers, and topology-aware routing to cut latency and cloud costs. Plus, user namespaces are now enabled by default, significantly boosting your cluster's security posture. Upgrading is crucial for accessing these powerful features and staying protected.
