Apache Cassandra can be run as a single node but starts making sense when its run in a cluster setup. The system is optimized for high write throughput and is known for its ability to handle big data workloads with ease at super-low latencies.
Databases are often the biggest performance bottleneck in an application. They are also hard to migrate from once being used in production, so making the right choice for your application’s database is crucial. A big part of making the right decision is knowing what your options are.

When we introduced Grafana Mimir into the open source ecosystem, we weren’t shy about our ambitions. Once we got past answering some of the easier questions (For the record, the name Mimir comes from Norse mythology, and it’s pronounced /mɪ’mir/.), we quickly got to work making good on our promise to deliver the most scalable, most performant open source time series database (TSDB) in the world.
