Over the past six months, DataStax has made a number of moves to make its open source Apache Cassandra more accessible. First, the company launched a cloud-based database-as-a-service version of Cassandra with Astra, taking away the pain of installing and managing your own database instance.

Now, DataStax has said that Stargate, its open-source API framework for data introduced earlier this summer, is generally available and brings with it API access via REST, JSON, and GraphQL to Cassandra, wherever and however it may be run.

Bringing it to the cloud, and bringing it to Kubernetes, made it easier to run, but we really wanted to make it a lot easier to develop for.

When we built Stargate, we designed it to be extensible with the idea that we would have multiple APIs over time.
