What is a Cassandra database?

Cassandra is a highly scalable, distributed NoSQL database designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers with no single point of failure. It is known for its high availability, fault tolerance, and ability to manage huge volumes of structured data. Cassandra uses a peer-to-peer architecture and supports replication across multiple data centers, making it a popular choice for applications that require scalability and reliability.
