<p><a href="http://cassandra.apache.org/"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Cassandra_logo.svg" align="right" width="140"></a></p>
<p>Cassandra is a free and open-source, distributed, wide column store,
NoSQL database management system designed to handle large amounts of
data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no
single point of failure. Cassandra is supported by the Apache Software
Foundation and is also known as Apache Cassandra.</p>
<p>This is a curated list of awesome <a
