Stargate
An open-source data API gateway that sits between applications and Cassandra, enabling multiple APIs and data models.
What is Stargate?
Stargate is an open-source data API gateway that sits between client applications and a Cassandra database. It enables developers to use Cassandra for any workload by supporting multiple APIs like REST, GraphQL, and Document APIs, along with pluggable data types and access methods. It solves the problem of database and API fragmentation by providing a unified, extensible framework for data access.
Developers and operators working with Cassandra who need flexible API access, microservice scalability, or want to expose Cassandra data through modern interfaces like GraphQL or REST. It's also for teams seeking to avoid vendor lock-in with proprietary database gateways.
Developers choose Stargate because it offers a highly extensible, open-source gateway that supports multiple APIs and data models out of the box, eliminating the need to switch databases or learn new APIs for different workloads. Its microservice architecture allows independent scaling of components, providing operational flexibility and performance.
