Cassandra Primary Use Case

RT
VP odfTechnology at Enterpi Software Solutions Private Limited

We have some big logs, and we need to do some AI analysis. Currently, we are storing data on Cassandra, and we are checking which database has fast retrieval. We have done a couple of load tests and have found good results with Cassandra, so we are using it.

I use Cassandra for distributed NoSQL databases, mostly for handling a large volume of data. It provides high availability and fault tolerance. I employ it for applications that require large-scale data storage and real-time data processing. In my previous project, three to four team members, including myself, used Cassandra.

We developed a Product Information Management system tailored for e-commerce. This homegrown system has evolved into a Software-as-a-Service offering available on the marketplace. The primary challenge addressed by this solution was managing vast amounts of data associated with products.

In this context, major e-commerce players like Amazon handle billions of images, regularly updating metadata and product attributes. The details visible on platforms such as Amazon, Alibaba, or Walmart, encompassing product specifications like laptop configurations, processors, RAM, etc., involve handling an enormous volume of information. 

For this use case, a key requirement was a reliable system with high uptime that did not adhere to the traditional master-slave or leader-follower architecture. Initially opting for Cassandra to meet these criteria, we encountered challenges related to the availability of skilled developers and Database Administrators. Consequently, we decided to transition to MongoDB to address these technical skill constraints.

We use the tool to get unstructured data into a database so I can do data analytics. It's all internal; we do not sell it outside of the company. 

I gobble up all the information that is available to me. I grab emails sent to us, PDF files, and Word files and read the contents. I try to get labeling for those unstructured data and do analytics on it with Python.

We set up our own Cassandra cluster. Cassandra is used in our processes.

It's running in the cloud. As previously stated, we use Azure for virtual instances and we set up our own cloud server there.

Cassandra is used for most of our applications that don't require a lot of associated data, such as video and a model.

Our primary use case of this solution was for working on PNRs and user journey plans for an airline. Things such as check-in times, airport arrival time, boarding times, etc. We stored all that data in Cassandra. I currently work as a chief technology officer.

Software Engineer at Freelancer

I was working for a client where there was a huge amount of data, where all the networks were intercepted. We used to do analytics on top of it. We did entity profiling. We take data and we use it to build profiles for users. Then we profile how many emails the user is sending. We see his complete profile and his behavioral traits, like what websites he's visiting and his e-commerce activity.
