Are you looking to dive into the world of NoSQL databases? Apache Cassandra is a fantastic place to start.
Cassandra is a highly popular, free, and open-source NoSQL database designed to handle massive amounts of data across multiple servers. Unlike traditional relational databases, its "distributed" design means there is no single master computer controlling everything. This eliminates any single point of failure, making it incredibly fast, reliable, and scalable for large-scale applications.
In my latest tutorial, I walk you through the foundational skills needed to quickly set up and run your own Apache Cassandra database locally using Docker.
What you will learn in the tutorial:
Downloading and starting an Apache Cassandra node using Docker.
Creating a custom keyspace and a database table using Cassandra Query Language (CQL).
Loading, inserting, and reading records using the interactive CQLSH command shell.
Safely shutting down and cleaning up your local testing environment.
