​​Talk Descriptions: 

​​Future of Cassandra® based GenAI with IBM Watsonx 

​​With the acquisition of DataStax, the leading provider of Apache Cassandra® based solutions, IBM is demonstrating its commitment to the future of this critical Apache project. We'll help the community understand how this drives the IBM Watsonx platform and GenAI strategy. 

​​

​​ACID Transactions with Apache Cassandra 

​​Get ready for an introduction to the next big feature in Apache Cassandra® - ACID transactions! Watch as these operational concepts come to life with a real-time game of "DataStaxOpoly," (our tech twist on the classic board game) and you'll see how each property purchase and rent payment becomes a real-world example of a multi-partition, ACID-compliant financial transaction across a distributed system. Whether you're a developer or an architect, this session will give you a practical understanding of distributed ACID transactions coming in the next release of Cassandra.
