While the focus is migration from relational databases to Cassandra, the principles apply to migration from other database types as well. We’ll finish up by taking a look at tools and integrations for getting data into and out of Cassandra, and searching and analyzing data stored in Cassandra clusters.
Knowing When to Migrate
The first consideration is how to know when you need to migrate an application or use case to Cassandra. A clear indication is when you encounter one or more of the challenges of relational databases highlighted in Chapter 1:

-
Challenges scaling beyond a single database node

Availability risk due to single-node or single-region deployments
-
