1. Objective – Cassandra Applications<\/h2>\n

In our previous Cassandra Tutorial<\/a><\/strong>, we have studied Cassandra Features<\/a><\/strong>. Today, in this Cassandra article, we will<\/span> go through some major Cassandra applications that make it so popular. Moreover, we will see companies using Apache Cassandra<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s start exploring applications of Cassandra.<\/p>\n

\"Cassandra<\/a>

Cassandra Applications | Why Cassandra Is So Popular?<\/p><\/div>\n

2. Top Cassandra Applications<\/h2>\n

Cassandra has a vast area of application. It is used by various organization worldwide. Some of<\/span> the Cassandra applications are listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know about Cassandra Architecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

a. Cassandra Storage<\/h3>\n

One of the major applications of Cassandra is storage. The broad coverage of Cassandra enables the user<\/span> to store any kind of data. This data is stored in various nodes that Cassandra provides. Cisco WebEx, InWorldz, Formspring, OpenX are some companies using Cassandra for\u00a0storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

b. Back-end development applications<\/h3>\n

Users can also use Cassandra for back-end development of their applications. Many software and<\/span> applications have front-end and back-end. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cassandra provides a wide platform for the<\/span> development of the back-end. It also provides a huge database of the data. Talentica software uses back-end for analytics.<\/span>
\nLet’s discuss\u00a0Cassandra API<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

c. Cassandra Monitoring<\/h3>\n

Many applications are based on a wide scale of user activity. Developers can also use Cassandra<\/span> to monitor the user activity. This user activity can be based on the different parameter, media, art,<\/span> music etc. CERN, Cloudkick and many such companies use Cassandra monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

d. Time-series-based applications<\/h3>\n

Time-series-based applications are basically the applications in real time. These applications<\/span> include hits on the internet browser, traffic light data, GPS location tracking data etc. These<\/span> applications require heavy write systems. Cassandra is best for these kinds of applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

e. Cassandra Analytics<\/h3>\n

Cassandra provides a platform to analyse data collected from various sources. These sources<\/span> may include social media, product feedback catalogues, retail inputs and lookups. Developers<\/span> can use Cassandra to retrieve and analyse this data. Ooyala is using Cassandra Analytics applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must read about Cassandra Data Model<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

f. Cassandra Messaging<\/h3>\n

Nowadays, people use messaging services all the time. This eventually, demands a need for a<\/span> platform to manage these message data. Therefore, Cassandra acts as a platform for the<\/span> message providers for their database management.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Companies using Cassandra<\/h2>\n

Some of the notable organizations that use Cassandra are given along with their usage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
