Taming the Cassandra-Datastax Dev/Test Challenge in Production Eco Systems
Cassandra-Datastax has a huge impact on customer facing solutions at scale. However, like most technologies, it presents unique challenges that are often first felt in the development and testing of the application. Containers, Docker in particular, have become a leading tool in addressing some of those challenges. However, Docker alone does not solve all the really hard and time-consuming problems.

Robin Solution – Simple Application and Data Lifecycle Management
Robin Hyper-Converged Kubernetes Platform brings bare-metal-like performance, retains virtualization benefits, enables significant cost savings—all from the same management layer.
The platform transforms commodity hardware into a compute, storage, and data continuum where multiple applications can be deployed per machine to ensure the best possible hardware utilization.
Robin containerization platform provides 1 click deployment for traditional relational databases such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL and for modern ones such as NoSQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra. DBAs, DevOps engineers or developers simply choose which database to deploy while Robin completely automates infrastructure and data provisioning, monitoring and tracking of application topology—through its lifecycle, and day 2 operations—with Robin Application-to-Spindle QoS guarantee.
Users interact with Robin entirely at the database level and provision as well as manage the underlying infrastructure transparently.
- Get bare-metal-like performance
- Retain virtualization benefits
- Enable cost savings
- Manage everything from a single management layer
