In Apache Cassandra Lunch #51: Cassandra Cluster Design & Architecture, we will discuss an overview of Cassandra cluster architecture, not to be confused with the Cassandra database architecture. Specifically, using Cassandra datacenters to isolate workloads. The live recording of Cassandra Lunch, which includes a more in-depth discussion and a demo, is embedded below in case you were not able to attend live. If you would like to attend Apache Cassandra Lunch live, it is hosted every Wednesday at 12 PM EST. Register here now!

The backbone of any business is the business platform, and the backbone of any business platform is the architecture, the technology that makes everything tick and keeps the gears turning. The modern business is especially responsible for leveraging all the technology at its fingertips in an efficient and effective manner, to make some money at the end of the day. To do this, the keyword is real-time. As data comes in, it needs to be analyzed and outputted at once for maximum use. This past week, our founder Rahul Singh hosted a Cassandra Chicago meetup during which he discussed how to use certain technologies to accomplish just that.
