Satyajit Thadeshwar | NetflixCode That Can't Fail, Backed By Cassandra
An introduction to durable execution and how Temporal implements it using Cassandra. Durable execution transparently persists each step of a program so that if the machine running the code crashes, another machine can continue executing at the next step. It also has built-in durable timers and automatic retries for anything that might fail. Combined, it makes it simple for developers to write reliable code.
Loren Sands-Ramshaw | TemporalWhat’s next for Apache Cassandra use cases?
Looking even further forward into the next few years, how will you use Cassandra? The two areas of our community that will grow the fastest are cloud native and AI/ML workloads. Cassandra was built for the next generation of applications. We are adding even more capabilities to help you develop faster with less effort.
