Datastax

Enterprise data platform built on Apache Cassandra, offering NoSQL databases and streaming for real-time and AI workloads. Delivers scalable, low-latency data infrastructure with multi-cloud and on-premises deployment options.

DataStax is a core contributor to Apache Cassandra and is recognized as a Forrester Leader in vector databases. Acquired by IBM and integrated with watsonx for enterprise AI. Stands out by unifying tabular data, vector search, and graph in one platform, unlike point solutions for each use case.

Key capabilities:

• Vector search and hybrid search with reranking for RAG and similarity search
• Multi-model support: tabular, vector, and graph in a single database
• Astra DB cloud database and Astra Streaming for real-time workloads
• Native drivers for Java, Python, TypeScript, C#, PHP, and Ruby
• Kubernetes operator for Apache Cassandra and managed deployment tooling

Teams use DataStax for generative AI and RAG pipelines with vector similarity on text, audio, and images. It suits mission-critical transactional workloads requiring linear scalability and geo-replication, plus hybrid deployments across cloud and on-premises. Developers integrate via the Data API, language drivers, and Kubernetes tooling such as cass-operator.
