Leveraging time to live (TTL)
In both MySQL and Postgres, expiring records after a set period of time takes a couple of timestamps and a little creativity. With Cassandra, or in this case the YugabyteDB ycql API, TTL (time to live) can be leveraged to handle this functionality, simplifying both the table definition and amount of work required by your code.
Here’s a short test to demonstrate. Reminder that you can set up a quick 3-node cluster using the code here: https://github.com/dataindataout/xtest_ansible.
