Restbase-cassandra NPM

RESTBase table storage on Cassandra

Provides a high-level table storage service abstraction similar to Amazon DynamoDB or Google DataStore, with a Cassandra backend. See the design docs for details and background.

This is the default table storage backend for RESTBase, and automatically installed as an npm module dependency (restbase-cassandra). See the install instructions there.

Issue tracking

We use Phabricator to track issues. See the list of current issues in RESTBase-cassandra.
