DataStax announced the general availability of DataStax Astra, a database-as-a-service for Apache Cassandra applications, simplifying cloud-native Cassandra application development.

On Google Cloud, Astra deploys and manages enterprise clusters powered by Cassandra directly on top of Google Cloud's Platform infrastructure, so that data sits in the same Google Cloud global infrastructure as applications.

"Finally! An easy, straight-forward managed service for our Cassandra workloads. I have been waiting for an easy, out-of-the-box solution for our users. DataStax Astra hits all of the needs for our organization," said Michael Heinen, manager, platform operations, cloud operations at Cengage.

"Cassandra is at the center of this with its reliability, resilience, and scalability. We are looking forward to the new release of DataStax Astra that could offer us an easier, better experience for Cassandra deployment and application development in the cloud."

"DataStax Astra aligns very nicely with our overall DevOps model of automated infrastructure in the cloud. This product directly addresses one of the biggest issues surrounding the adoption of Cassandra in an enterprise - the difficulty of provisioning and managing Cassandra clusters."
