DataStax unveils new capabilities in open source GraphQL API, empowering Apache Cassandra developers to rapidly develop applications
DataStax announced new capabilities of the open-source GraphQL API, enabling developers to more rapidly develop applications with Apache Cassandra and manage multimodel data with Apollo to reduce operational complexity. The API is available in Stargate, the open-source data gateway, built to make Cassandra developer-ready and for interacting with data at scale.

“Every infrastructure decision a developer needs to contemplate slows development. With the new capabilities in Stargate’s GraphQL API, DataStax is bridging the gap between database choice and rapid implementation so developers can benefit from the powerful Apache Cassandra database”
GraphQL and Apollo remain top choices for application developers who are seeking an agnostic way of interacting with data in their applications. The flexibility offered by JSON-based storage allows developers to be more responsive to business needs — iterating and deploying faster, as changes to the application data model do not require changes to database schema.
“Getting Stargate up and running locally with GraphQL and connected to my React app was very painless and took me less than 30 mins to get developing,” said Brandon Landfried, Technical Lead, Ippon Technologies USA

“Every infrastructure decision a developer needs to contemplate slows development. With the new capabilities in Stargate’s GraphQL API, DataStax is bridging the gap between database choice and rapid implementation so developers can benefit from the powerful Apache Cassandra database,” said Ed Anuff, chief product officer, DataStax. “We are committed to empowering app developers to work with a modern, familiar, document-oriented API without having to know specific query language while presenting all of an organization’s data sources in a single interface.”
The Stargate GraphQL API now enables developers to create tables and define schemas in Apache Cassandra without the need to work directly with Cassandra Query Language (CQL). Additionally, developers who are accustomed to structuring data in JSON will immediately benefit from Stargate’s ability to manage multimodel data and reduce data silos with new support for data federation. Stargate integrates with the Apollo Gateway to read from Cassandra and other databases that support GraphQL including MongoDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL, and data stores from AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
