sfspark.org: The Cassandra Odyssey w/ Phil Gentry
ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- In this talk, we’ll discuss our use case for Cassandra at Coffee Meets Bagel and how our use of Cassandra has evolved in recent times. As a devops engineer, I’ve been working on our Cassandra implementation over the last few months, learning about Cassandra as I go. We're now reaching new levels of performance, despite seeing our heaviest loads of traffic ever. My hope in sharing our story is simply that you will find something useful in it, either in method or some revealing bit of trivia... and I also know that we'll find something useful in talking to you, the Cassandra community.
