All documentation links
Here’s a list of DataStax documentation, plus links to related open-source project docs.
Stargate APIs
The Stargate Document, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs can be used for supported versions of DSE and OSS Apache Cassandra®. For information about these APIs, including installation guides, quickstarts, development guides, and examples, see Stargate Document, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC API documentation.
For Astra DB only, the Stargate Document, REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs are deprecated as of September 2024 with end-of-life (EOL) scheduled for the end of 2025. For migration guidance, see Migrate to the Data API from the Stargate APIs. |
For information about the Stargate Data API (previously known as the Stargate JSON API), see the following:

DataStax-compatible drivers
DataStax supports drivers for Apache Cassandra® in several programming languages.
You can use these drivers with DSE, HCD, and Astra DB, as well as open-source Apache Cassandra.
For more information, see Cassandra drivers supported by DataStax.
Apache Cassandra Spark connector
The Apache Cassandra Spark connector API lets you expose tables as Spark Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs), write Spark RDDs to tables, and execute arbitrary CQL queries in your Spark applications.
For more information, see Cassandra drivers supported by DataStax: Apache Cassandra Spark connector.
