DataStax recently announced the general availability of the open-source GRPC API for Astra DB, the company’s serverless cloud database built on Apache Cassandra – the NoSQL database standard. With the gRPC API developers can create microservices applications to query Cassandra. The API is available alongside JSON, REST, and GraphQL APIs in the Stargate open-source data gateway, built to make Cassandra developer-ready for interacting with data at scale.
