Running Apache Cassandra® Single and Multi-Node Clusters on Docker with Docker Compose
Sometimes you might need to spin up a local test database quickly–a database that doesn’t need to last beyond a set time or number of uses. Or maybe you want to integrate Apache Cassandra® into an existing Docker setup. Either way, you’re going to want to run Cassandra on Docker, which means running it in...
