Announcing the Build with Astra DB Series!

Build a Modern Data App is a virtual hackathon powered by DataStax. To help the participants and enthusiasts understand the technology behind Astra DB we’re launching a series of workshops for 5 weekends.

Your takeaways are going to be:

  • Quickly learn the basics of Apache Cassandra and Astra DB
  • To show case how easy it is to get started with Astra DB
  • Learn to build highly available and scalable apps

Why should I attend these workshops?

If you are not familiar about Apache Cassandra and Astra DB, here is your opportunity to learn how companies like Netflix, Yelp, Venmo are using Cassandra and NoSQL as their back-end.
