Overall Satisfaction with Astra DB

We use Astra DB as our primary vector database. It is used to store vector embeddings for unstructured data as well as other business metrics that can be fetched with a quick semantic search.
  • Semantic search.
  • MMR
  • Langhian integration.
  • Text search
  • Faster time to market.
  • Cutting edge tech to build faster.
  • Exceptional support.
As a developer, working with Astra has been very easy and intuitive. It has helped me build and iterate faster. As a manager, it has helped me make sure that my team has the best and most reliable tools to build with.
We work with 100s of 1000s of unstructured data files, which amount to 10s of GBs. We have never faced a scalability problem with Astra.
Astra provides all the features that the above products do while also giving us access to cutting-edge features faster.

Astra DB is very well suited for scenarios where you need to use vector search. It offers all the functionality that other databases do and is always on the cutting edge of new technology. The fact that it is based on Cassandra makes it even easier for people looking for a do-it-all database. The only reason you might not want to consider it is if your existing database solution also provides vector search capabilities along with traditional DB features.
