The Database That Doesn't Quit: Apache Cassandra with Patrick McFadin

On this episode of Alexa’s Input (AI), we’re diving deep into the world of distributed databases with Patrick McFadin, Principal Technical Strategist at DataStax and a leading voice in the Apache Cassandra community. Patrick shares his journey into tech and how he became one of the foremost experts on Cassandra—an open-source, highly scalable NoSQL database that powers mission-critical applications across the globe.

We explore Cassandra’s unique architecture, its approach to the CAP theorem, real-world use cases, and how it continues to evolve in the era of AI and real-time analytics. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or just database-curious, this episode offers a clear, insightful look at how Cassandra handles scale, availability, and open-source innovation.
