Thanks!

The reason for Cassandra is the normal reasons someone would turn to Cassandra, fault tolerance, scalability, high write throughput. It's a powerful database we really like but can get a bad rap at times so with Stargate we wanted to make it easier for developers to get their data in and out with their preferred interface. Although we have left it open to extension so if Cassandra isn't your cup of tea we welcome PRs to add new persistence backends.

Example docker-compose and helm charts are definitely in the works! Stay tuned and we should have those out soon.

Oh that looks cool! I'm digging the UI. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to try that out later and maybe we can learn some things from each other.
