Install: brew install cql-proxy

About:
CQL Proxy acts as a translation layer, allowing applications designed for standard Apache Cassandra to connect to DataStax Astra DB using existing drivers. It intercepts CQL protocol requests and handles the necessary authentication and connection specifics for Astra's secure connection bundle. This enables seamless migration and development without modifying application code or managing complex secure connection bundles directly.

Key Features:

Drop-in compatibility with standard Cassandra drivers
Eliminates the need for complex secure connect bundle management
Simplifies local development against Astra DB instances
Proxies CQL traffic to bridge standard Cassandra and Astra DB

Use Cases:

Running legacy Cassandra applications on Astra DB without code changes
Simplifying local development environments for Astra DB projects
Facilitating hybrid cloud deployments between on-prem Cassandra and Astra

Alternatives:

Direct Astra Connection – Requires downloading and managing secure connect bundles, which cql-proxy abstracts away.
