# DataStax

> DataStax is the company behind Astra DB — a serverless, multi-cloud database and vector-search platform built on Apache Cassandra — plus Langflow, RAGStack, and Astra Streaming (Apache Pulsar). Developers use the Data API (JSON document/table/vector), the legacy REST/Document/GraphQL APIs, and the Astra DevOps API for administration. DataStax was acquired by IBM in 2025; the developer surface remains on datastax.com.
