Stargate Document API on Astra

Built around JSON-like documents, document model databases are both natural and flexible for developers to work with.

The Stargate open source project provides an API layer that allows you to expose a document-style API on top of any Cassandra database.

Astra now offers offers a Document API via Stargate, which allows you to use your Astra database as a document database. Create collections, add documents and modify them within your database.

In this scenario we will:

• Create a new collection and add a document
• Read the document back from the database
• Read a subdocument from the database
• Update a document
• Replace a subdocument
• Delete a document from the database

Before we begin

As a prerequisite, be sure to setup an Astra account and create a Cassandra as a Service database at astra.datastax.com.
