The official Node.js client library for Apache Cassandra, DSE, HCD, and Astra DB, communicating via Cassandra's binary protocol and CQL. It provides connection pooling, load balancing, retry policies, prepared and batch statements, and an optional object mapper.

Use cases

• connect to cassandra from nodejs
• run cql queries in javascript
• use prepared statements with cassandra
• connect to datastax astra db from node
• stream query rows from cassandra
• manage cassandra connection pooling and load balancing

When to choose

• your Node.js application needs to read/write an Apache Cassandra or Astra DB cluster
• you need tunable driver behavior like load balancing, retries, and reconnection
• you want promise- and callback-based APIs with TypeScript support

When to avoid

• you use a relational or document database instead of Cassandra
• your runtime is not Node.js or a JavaScript environment
• you need an ORM with full schema migrations rather than a CQL driver
