Cassandra on Kubernetes using K8ssandra

In this episode, Ryan and Bhavin interview Patrick McFadin, VP of Developer Relations at Datastax, who is a co-author of the upcoming O’Reilly book “Managing Cloud-Native Data on Kubernetes” and a contributor to the Apache Cassandra project. The discussion dives into how K8ssandra helps users deploy Cassandra on Kubernetes clusters, and how customers are using Cassandra as the NoSQL, Distributed DB backend for their applications. We talk about the challenges, benefits, and best practices for running Cassandra on Kubernetes, and what users can look forward to in the near future.
