According to a recent press release, “At its DataStax Accelerate user conference, DataStax, the company behind the leading database built on Apache Cassandra™, today announced DataStax Constellation, a cloud data platform that will simplify the development and operation of modern applications. Constellation will launch later this year with two cloud services: DataStax Apache Cassandra as a Service and DataStax Insights. DataStax Apache Cassandra as a Service will deliver easy scale-up and scale-down Cassandra clusters, on consumption-based pricing, which is backed by the stability and performance enhancements of DataStax Enterprise.”

DataStax CEO Billy Bosworth said, “DataStax has created a bold vision that radically simplifies how data is managed and how modern applications are built. Today’s news is the first step on our journey to making that vision a reality… DataStax Constellation makes building modern applications easier for developers and IT teams by reducing the complexity associated with every aspect of purchasing, development, and operations. Because Constellation is cloud native and fully compatible with DataStax Enterprise and Apache Cassandra, application architectures can easily span on-prem, hybrid, or multi-cloud. This frees businesses to choose whatever infrastructure is right for them.”

The release goes on, “DataStax Constellation is a cloud-native platform that will deliver the services needed to build, deploy, and manage modern applications. Constellation is an entirely new engineering cloud service that makes it easy to access all your data needs from a single cloud console. The first service available will be DataStax Apache Cassandra as a Service, a net-new DataStax product. DataStax Apache Cassandra as a Service goes far beyond hosted Apache Cassandra, providing users with a frictionless, cloud-native experience with the resiliency and reliability that customers expect from DataStax.”
