Anypoint Connector for Apache Cassandra (Apache Cassandra Connector) creates connectivity between
Apache Cassandra databases and third-party applications, systems, services such as SAP, PeopleSoft,
or Workday, as well as other databases across the enterprise.

Apache Cassandra is an open source distributed NoSQL database intended to manage large amounts of
product, customer, and employee data. Apache Cassandra Connector 5.0 implements the DataStax Java
Driver for Apache Cassandra 4.17.0 and supports Apache Cassandra 5.x.
