1000 node Cassandra cluster on Amazon's EKS
Apache Cassandra is a distributed database that does a great job with geo-distributed workloads. K8ssandra, on the other hand, makes it possible to run it on Kubernetes, equipped with backups and dashboarding.

Bringing Apache Cassandra closer to Kubernetes
Aside from geo-distributed workloads, Apache Cassandra also works great as a stand-alone service. However, since Cassandra was built before Kubernetes existed, there’s a mismatch in how they do things. In line with the series of takeaways we got from DoK Day 2022, Jake Luciani, Chief Architect at the DataStax, discusses how they made Apache Cassandra work more natively on Kubernetes.

ETL/ELT on Kubernetes with Airbyte: K8s development insights
There are a lot of different approaches working for a spot in an attempt to solve ETL/ELT on Kubernetes. Considering that the cloud-native landscape is built for deploying Dockerized, open-source software, many of the closed-source solutions don’t align with the trajectory of the community.
