DataStax C# Driver

Provides both synchronous and asynchronous APIs, enabling non-blocking database operations for scalable applications, as demonstrated in the ExecuteAsync method examples for flexible application design.

Includes built-in support for DSE Graph, geospatial types, and specific authentication methods like DseGssapiAuthProvider, making it ideal for leveraging enterprise features beyond standard Cassandra.

Features a Mapper component and Linq2Cql to reduce boilerplate code when mapping query results to C# objects, simplifying data access layers with examples like mapper.Single<User>().

Offers configurable load balancing, retry policies, and connection pooling, allowing fine-grained control over database interactions for optimized performance, as shown in the SetPageSize and WithLoadBalancingPolicy examples.
