Cassandra + Astra DB (contrib)
Description
The [Cassandra / Astra DB] online store provides support for materializing feature values into an Apache Cassandra / Astra DB database for online features.
The whole project is contained within a Cassandra keyspace
Each feature view is mapped one-to-one to a specific Cassandra table
This implementation inherits all strengths of Cassandra such as high availability, fault-tolerance, and data distribution
An easy way to get started is the command feast init REPO_NAME -t cassandra
.
