Bigtable vs Cassandra
Developers should use Bigtable when building applications that need to process petabytes of data with high performance and low latency, such as real-time analytics, IoT data streams, or financial trading platforms meets developers should learn cassandra when building applications that require massive scalability, high write throughput, and low-latency reads across geographically distributed data centers, such as in e-commerce, social media, or iot platforms. Here's our take.

Bigtable
Nice PickDevelopers should use Bigtable when building applications that need to process petabytes of data with high performance and low latency, such as real-time analytics, IoT data streams, or financial trading platforms
Pros
- +It is particularly suited for use cases involving time-series data, ad tech, and machine learning pipelines where fast data ingestion and querying are critical
- +Related to: google-cloud-platform, nosql
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cassandra
Developers should learn Cassandra when building applications that require massive scalability, high write throughput, and low-latency reads across geographically distributed data centers, such as in e-commerce, social media, or IoT platforms
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for use cases involving time-series data, event logging, and real-time analytics where traditional relational databases struggle with performance under heavy loads
- +Related to: nosql, distributed-systems
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Bigtable if: You want it is particularly suited for use cases involving time-series data, ad tech, and machine learning pipelines where fast data ingestion and querying are critical and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cassandra if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for use cases involving time-series data, event logging, and real-time analytics where traditional relational databases struggle with performance under heavy loads over what Bigtable offers.
