Data-driven applications are rapidly becoming a major component of today's digital businesses. Companies are utilizing new and powerful data-driven techniques to optimize their decision making, improve operational efficiency, and create personalized experiences for their customers. At the core of these applications are databases and the knowledge that is gained when data is properly stored, handled, and analyzed. The most common data storage methods today are relational databases and NoSQL databases. These databases are used to store important pieces of information that makes decision making or analysis easier. Despite the advancements of both relational and NoSQL database solutions, there are still challenges faced by businesses when it comes to data integrity and scalability. One possible solution to this problem is an enterprise-level database known as Apache Cassandra. Cassandra is designed to solve the scalability issues faced by most businesses when it comes to data storage. It provides high availability, elastic scalability, and ease of use. It also can be used to store any type of information, from simple transaction data to complicated data sets. In addition, Cassandra is a distributed database which allows it to be deployed across multiple nodes, with the nodes being distributed both geographically and logically. This means that businesses can create their own private cloud
