DataStax is the company behind Astra DB, a serverless, multi-cloud database and vector-search platform built on Apache Cassandra, along with Langflow, RAGStack, and the Astra Streaming (Apache Pulsar) event platform for building generative-AI and real-time applications. Developers interact with Astra DB through the Data API (JSON document, table, and vector operations), the legacy REST, Document, and GraphQL APIs, and the Astra DevOps API for programmatic administration of databases, keyspaces, access lists, roles, users, tokens, private links, and CDC. DataStax publishes official client SDKs (Python astrapy, TypeScript astra-db-ts, Go astra-db-go), the Java-based Astra CLI, and an official Astra DB Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for agentic access. DataStax was acquired by IBM in 2025 and its Astra products are now part of the IBM watsonx data portfolio, while the developer surface remains hosted on datastax.com, docs.datastax.com, astra.datastax.com, and github.com/datastax.
