When and how to migrate from a relational database to Cassandra.
Many applications are initially developed using relational database technology before upsizing to Cassandra as they mature.
This presentation will examine the indicators that it is time to start considering a migration away from relational and factors to consider when making the decision to move. We will then discuss different approaches for implementing the migration and how to plan, estimate and manage the work along with key risks and gotchas you may encounter.
