Pros

Endi Sukaj

Pro
Familiar to developers used to SQL

The query language that Cassandra uses (CQL) is similar to SQL even though it's a NoSQL database.

Endi Sukaj

Pro
Highly scalable

Cassandra is very scalable and achieves the highest throughput for the maximum number of nodes compared to other alternatives. Unfortunately this also brings rather high write and read latencies.

Cons

Endi Sukaj

Con
No JOINS

Cassandra has no support for JOINS.
