Pros

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.

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.

Cons

Con
Not for newbies

If your dataset is in order of gigabytes then maybe consider a toy database, not a serious one like Cassandra.

Endi Sukaj

Con
No JOINS

Cassandra has no support for JOINS.
