The docker-compose.yml has been configured as such to allow for a gracefull startup of all nodes and finally Stargate.

It uses the docker compose healtcheck which checks for the amount of Cassandra nodes being up and running in a healthy way (no start up, no range movement).

docker-compose up -d

docker exec -it backend-1 bash

Use nodetool to check the health of the system. You should see four nodes running.

docker exec -it `docker ps | grep backend-1 | cut -b 1-12` nodetool status

Stargate is started with the following port mappings:

All ports available on localhost.

Local cqlsh can be downloaded from https://docs.datastax.com/en/install/6.7/install/installCqlsh.html

docker exec -it backend-1 cqlsh

or

cqlsh localhost 9042

To access the Swagger UI, open http://localhost:8082/swagger-ui in your browser.

To access the GraphQL UI, open http://localhost:8080/playground in your browser.

curl -L -X POST 'http://localhost:8081/v1/auth' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{
    "username": "cassandra",
    "password": "cassandra"
  }'

This part is all about how to use the REST, Document and GraphQL API's with Cassandra.

For accessing the endpoints, Postman (https://www.postman.com) will be used, for which collection and environment definitions are provided.

The files in this repository are inspired on the work done by Dave Joy, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU3Z4msZaDU.

First of all it is important to note that the URLs of the Stargate endpoints, apart from the hostname of course, are a bit different. As follows:

For this reason two separate environment definitions are provided:

• Local Stargate (fully configured): Local Stargate.postman_environment.json
• Astra (needs configuring): Astra.postman_environment.json

In order to use these defintions just load them into Postman.

For Astra, make sure you configure the following variables:

• hostname
• username
• password

In order to load the collection of API calls to play with the endpoints, load Stargate Access.postman_environment.json.
