<p>Cassandra is a free, open-source, distributed, NoSQL database management system (DBMS) for large amounts of data that may be distributed across many commodity servers. </p>
<p>A Cassandra developer manages the Cassandra system and integrates applications with the database storage solution and API.</p>
<p>The average annual income of a <strong>Cassandra Developer</strong> is between <strong>$110,000</strong> and <strong>$145,500</strong>, according to Glassdoor (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.google.com/search?q=cassandra+developer+income" target="_blank">source</a>).</p>
<p>Do you want to become a Cassandra Developer? Here’s a learning path I’d propose in five steps to get started:</p>
