Lack of expertise Difficult to simulate real-world use cases
Want to become a Cassandra expert
Why should you care?
What will you get out of it?
Deploying and managing distributed
systems is challenging
Learn how to deploy, manage and tune Apache Cassandra
Data modeling for NoSQL systems is not
well understood
Learn how to use our data modeling
framework for Apache Cassandra
Modern applications that need to scale require
alternative persistence solutions
Learn how Apache Cassandra can help you build massively scalable
applications

Roles are changing
• The Challenge: Poorly defined interface between development and operations
• The Trend: Redefine technical roles to include both development and operations responsibilities
• The Solution: Development and operations should work more closely together.

Development + Operations = DevOps
DevOps
• DevOps stresses communication, collaboration and integration between software developers and IT operations professionals
• DevOps is a response to the interdependence of software development and IT operations
