Why people look for a DataStax alternative
- •Steep learning curve, especially for those new to Cassandra or distributed systems
- •Requires upfront schema design, making ad-hoc querying difficult
- •Documentation and tutorials don't always align with real implementation needs
To be fair to DataStax: near-zero latency and high-throughput real-time performance; on-demand pricing can be cheaper than self-managing cassandra clusters for smaller workloads. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
