Overall Satisfaction with Astra DB
We run an advertising company with thousands of websites. A lot of data is generated from each of the auctions for each ad unit on all of those websites, and we need fast response times to make near-instant bidding decisions for those auctions.
AstraDB helps store all of that data in a fast, efficient, and easy way to use.

- While there are libraries for many popular languages, it is a little rough hooking up an application written in a language not in the list. The ability is there, but docs for the sidecar are hard to find.
- Decreased costs over self-managed Cassandra
- Raised velocity by enabling developers to work on their product more and manage their database less
Experience has been great, and the tools provided very much do their job as intended. Setup of databases is quick and painless, allowing us to get to building applications sooner without having to worry about provisioning on the manual cluster.
