Building for Data is Mission-Critical: Ed Anuff of DataStax

The Big Themes:
• It just doesn’t magically happen: It’s not the data you already
have, this is one of the hard lessons that lot of folks
think.
• DataStax fits into that equation: And this is one of the things
that I think goes back to what you talked about in terms of
agility.
• Everybody has S3 compatible APIs: You've got your storage now
that is just scale out via very simple APIs. You've got your
compute now that's been standardized on top of Kubernetes.
• You may have some rock stars: But majority of code written even
at these internet companies is written by good developers. And I
guarantee you, you've got good developers.


The Big Quotes:
“And so Cassandra was what enabled a number of retailers, many of
the major retailers in operation today built critical parts of
their e-commerce stack on top of Cassandra.”


“The starting point for most folks is you start talking about
saying, ‘Okay, you need to collect and log and interpret all of
these streams of data.’”


“And so the open data stack is about trying to make data catch up
to where Kubernetes is in terms of giving you that agility.”
