Apache Cassandra is a next generation database originally conceived at Facebook. It combines the best bits from Google's BigTable and Amazon's Dynamo papers, has a very active community, and is widely used at many large companies. In this talk we will cover the features unique to Cassandra and explain how it achieves things such as tuneable consistency, write-optimisation, and high availability. We will discuss the strengths (and weaknesses) of Cassandra, what it is commonly used for, and how you might use it in your application.
