DATASTAX UNVEILS ASTRA STREAMING BUILT FOR MASSIVE SCALE

KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- DataStax has announced Astra Streaming, a highly-scalable, multi-cloud messaging and event streaming platform built on Apache Pulsar™.

According to a statement, Astra Streaming is integrated with DataStax’s marquee serverless database, Astra DB, to deliver a multi-cloud solution for managing both data in motion and data at rest.

With the introduction of Astra Streaming, DataStax is poised to deliver on its vision of an open data stack for today’s multi-cloud applications that require massive scale, zero-downtime availability, and high performance.

DataStax chief product officer, Ed Anuff said: “While existing solutions work up to a point, they generally can’t compete with the scale, performance and reliability that comes from Apache Cassandra™ - the underlying database that powers Astra DB.

“With Astra Streaming, you can achieve the same usability benefits associated with SQL-like stream processing interfaces with the cross cloud, high-performance persistence capabilities of Astra DB.”

Astra Streaming provides state-of-the-art streaming technology to power some of the most critical use cases including real-time payment processing, personalised customer experiences, fraud detection and many more.

In addition, Astra Streaming features global scale, cloud-native streaming, powered by Apache Pulsar without the complexity of self-managed solutions; compatible with Apache Kafka and Java Messaging Service; multi-cloud; simple developer APIs for streaming; and, pay-as-you-go pricing.
