Not Only did the NoSQL moniker come from a Apache Cassandra dev, Apache Cassandra remains the leading popular open source NoSQL database today. #support_open_source_technologies

From db-engines top 50 databases, the only vendor-neutral open sourced NoSQL databases are Apache Cassandra and Apache HBase. #choose_sustainable_open_source_technologies

Happy Friday!! Today is a good day. I am thrilled to announce that latest PR for CDC support in Sidecar (CEP-44) was just merged into C* Sidecar. More testing coverage, bug filing and fixing lies ahead of us. So proud to be a member of this community @cassandra.apache.org!

From db-engines top 100 databases, the only application databases that are vendor-neutral open sourced are: Apache Cassandra, Postgres, H2, Apache CouchDB, and HSQLDB. #choose_sustainable_open_source_technologies
