A lot of developers are Cassandra-averse because of the extensive setup and unfamiliar query language. What if you could spin up a Cassandra database in a flash and interact with it using HTTP APIs, like REST, GraphQL and a Document API?

I'll walk through the tech stack with Cassandra as the foundation and the open source Stargate engine to provide APIs, and prove to you that Cassandra is a great option to explore.

I'll also show a couple of sample apps, available on Github, that demonstrate serverless applications running on the serverless database.
