It’s a distributed system and if you have been a DBA for a single system like Oracle or MySQL there is a lot of new competencies to learn. That being said, completely doable and it’s typical to see small teams running massive amounts of Cassandra. At the same conference, Bloomberg talked about their large Cassandra footprint with only 4 people. If you want to run Cassandra in K8s there is the K8ssandra project that automates a lot. It’s a fast growing project as a result. (http://k8ssandra.io http://k8ssandra.io) If you want to use Cassandra and not run it, http://astra.datastax.com http://astra.datastax.com. One click and a few seconds, you get a completely serverless version of Cassandra that you only pay for what you use. I'm sure we will hear a lot more of these stories at Cassandra Summit in March (http://cassandrasummit.org http://cassandrasummit.org)
