DataStax and Decodable Announce Partnership

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 25, 2022 — DataStax, the real-time data company, and Decodable, the streaming processing platform company, have announced a new partnership to help developers build modern real-time applications and deliver data services in minutes and at dramatically lower cost.

As a result of the partnership, the two companies will connect their cloud services to deliver the benefits of three powerful open source technologies together: Apache Pulsar, Apache Flink and Apache Cassandra. The joint solution will be offered as fully-managed services available on any cloud through DataStax’s Cassandra-based Astra DB, Pulsar-based Astra Streaming, and Decodable’s SQL-based stream processing platform powered by Apache Flink.

The services are connected through APIs, and enable developers to easily build a complete, end-to-end, real-time data analytics pipeline and applications in minutes.

“Real-time applications and data services are today’s competitive powerhouse, and many companies are seeking a robust, yet simple solution that enables them to access and use the data required to power these applications. The connected Decodable and DataStax SaaS offerings will eliminate the cost and complexity barriers standing in the way of our customers building game-changing applications that meet the needs of their end-users,” said Eric Sammer, CEO, Decodable.

Decodable seamlessly unleashes data trapped in disparate systems so it can be ingested into Astra DB and Astra Streaming in real-time without the need to manage and scale underlying infrastructure. The combination of Decodable’s open source, stream processing capabilities connected to DataStax’s open stack for real-time applications enables developer and data engineering teams to:

• Connect to operational, analytic and streaming systems in minutes using Decodable and Astra Streaming.
• Process streaming data using Decodable’s SQL pipelines.
• Deliver data from DataStax’s multi-cloud DBaaS, Astra DB, and advanced unified event streaming service, Astra Streaming, to power modern real-time applications and machine learning.

“There is an entire class of applications and services that might never see the light of day due to cost and complexity barriers. We are joining forces with Decodable to democratize data so any developer can easily build and scale superior experiences such as real-time logistics, in-the-moment personalized product recommendations and immediate fraud notifications,” said Ed Anuff, chief product officer at DataStax.

The connectivity provided by DataStax and Decodable provides customers with significant business benefits including the ability to:

• Innovate faster for rapid growth. Quickly deliver new capabilities, streaming data services and new real-time applications. According to new research in The State of the Data Race 2022 report, 71% of respondents agree that they can tie revenue growth directly to real-time data.
• Empower developers to build differentiated customer experiences. DataStax together with Decodable offers a fully-managed cloud solution so developers can focus on delivering business value, not managing infrastructure. According to new research, 86% of corporate developers surveyed who prioritize real-time data say “technology is more exciting than ever.”
• Reduce total cost of ownership and risk with a solution that offers unparalleled scalability and availability, zero infrastructure to manage and pay-as-you-grow pricing.
