After careful consideration, we chose Cassandra as our database.</p> <p>When it came to productizing our system, we explored three main options:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://cassandra.apache.org/_/index.html"><strong>Self-hosted Cassandra</strong></a>: We ruled this out due to the need for hardware maintenance.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.datastax.com/"><strong>DataStax</strong></a>: Dubbed the &ldquo;Confluence-Kafka&rdquo; of Cassandra, it offers a fully cloud-based implementation managed by the DataStax team.</p>
